Child Care Centers

The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is designed to encourage nutritious meals and snacks for children in licensed Child Care Centers and homes.

As a participating child care provider, you will receive reimbursement on a per meal, per child basis.

CACFP meal reimbursements provide centers the resources necessary to improve and to supplement the costs of providing a quality nutrition program for their enrolled children.

 

Adult Care Centers

The CACFP provides Adult Day Care Centers reimbursement funds for serving nutritious meals to adults, on a per meal basis, who are 60 or older, or who are physically or mentally impaired. Qualifying impairments to enrolled adult participants are those which limit their independence and ability to carry out activities of daily living.   

CACFP meals give adults the nutrition they need and helps participating Centers offset the costs of providing meals as a routine part of their day care program.

Bulk Meals

Due to the impact of Covid-19 we have suspended hot daily mealservice to our current and new participants.

In an effort to help out as many children in the Fresno County area, BBC Foundation has started to provide Bulk meals to families with children in need of food.

Each child recieves 7 meals and 7 snacks a week. Parents may pick up the bulk meals weekly at a set location and time. To apply for bulk meals please email: Outreach@bbc-foundtion.org with the subject line Re: Bulk Meals

Emergency Shelters

Residents 18 and younger, or those with developmental disabilities regardless of age, who receive their meals at an emergency shelter are automatically eligible for free meals. There are no application forms for families to fill out. All reimbursable meals are served in group settings, at no cost to the child or to the child’s family.

Emergency shelters receive the highest rates of payment for serving meals, which meet Federal Nutritional Guidelines, to eligible children.
