Family Child Care Providers
Children’s Hunger Alliance helps more than 850 family child care providers provide healthy food and age-appropriate physical activity to children in their care. Here’s an overview of our services:
- Enroll child care providers in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), the federal child nutrition program that subsidizes healthy meals and snacks in child care settings;
- Provides annual training, assistance with menu planning, access to free KidKare software to electronically submit meal claims and more.
- Delivers an early learning curriculum focusing on healthy living developed specifically for home child care settings; and provide additional tools and resources throughout the year (e.g. children’s books, calendars, seed packets to promote gardening).

Daycare Centers
In 2016 Children’s Hunger Alliance began sponsoring daycare centers through the USDA’s Child and Adult Care Food Program. If you operate a licensed daycare center that currently serves a population of low-income children, we may be able to help you provide healthy meals for the children in your care. Please contact us for more information.
