All day-care facilities and their participants should be aware that children and adults enrolled in day-care facilities may be eligible for free meals through the Child and Adult Care Food Program coordinated by the New Jersey Department of Agriculture, the NJ Department of Agriculture said today.
The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federally-funded program that reimburses sponsoring agencies that provide healthy meals and snacks at no charge to children and adults enrolled in licensed or approved day care facilities or family day care homes.
Meals are available at no separate charge to all enrolled participants in the Child and Adult Care Food Program and are served without regard to race, color, national origin, gender, age, or disability.
Following are the Income Eligibility Guidelines used in determining eligibility for free and reduced price meals for the period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013:
The Child and Adult Care Food Program is funded by the Food and Nutrition Service, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and is operated in accordance with USDA policy, which does not permit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, gender, or disability in the meal service, admissions policy or use of any Adult Food Program facility.
To file a complaint of discrimination, write to the USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20250-9410, or call, toll free, (866) 632-9992 (Voice), (800) 877-8339 (TDD) or (866) 377-8642 (Relay Voice Users).

“The Child and Adult Care Food Program is funded by the Food and Nutrition Service, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) ”
What’s not mentioned is this:
The Food and Nutrition Service, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is funded by the income taxes that come out of the paychecks of struggling taxpayers, who don’t get free government money and free government benefits, but who work from morning to night every day to feed their families, and pay their taxes to the government, which then takes their money and funds the Food and Nutrition Service, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Just an oversight, I assume.
