The Child and Adult Care Food Program's (CACFP) At-Risk Afterschool Meal Program

The Child and Adult Care Food Program's (CACFP) At-Risk Afterschool Meal Program provides free, nutritious meals and snacks to help youth, 18 years or younger, in low-income areas get the nutrition they need to learn, play, and grow throughout the school year. As a program sponsor, Youthprise provides the food and handles all the administrative responsibilities so your youth can have healthy meals and snacks.

Our model targets youth programs with small budgets that lack administrative capacity and/or cash flow to participate in the program directly. We principally target programs that serve communities of color and children not receiving CACFP.
