Join the food program and get reimbursed for serving healthy meals!
What is the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)?
What is a Sponsor?
A Sponsor is an organization that helps you claim monetary reimbursement each month from the CACFP. Sponsors ensure you are food program compliant with state and federal rules and help you ensure proper child nutrition.
How does it work?
Although each state has different rules that govern food program specifics, the meal serving and reimbursement process is generally the same. Your Sponsor will help you to create a menu that is food program compliant. You record meals according to your Sponsor’s requirements in KidKare for free if your Sponsor uses our software. Once a month you send the meals that you recorded to your sponsor as a claim. Your Sponsor reviews your claim and then sends you reimbursement for the meals you served.
How much will I get reimbursed?
Your reimbursement amount depends on the number of meals you served, as well as the reimbursement tier you qualify for. Below are some helpful articles by Tom Copeland that cover reimbursement rates and general questions about the food program.
