CACFP Week in Action

One amazing part of Northeast Youth Centers food program to highlight is that a child is NEVER turned down for
more.

My children have been enjoying trying new foods out. They also enjoy watching their friends try new foods which encourage them to try also.

What we do makes a difference and HOW we do it, makes a bigger difference.

I have worked in the CACFP/SFSP since 2010. I worked my way up from delivery driver for our meal program, to cook, then kitchen manager, and finally was promoted to Director in 2021!

We asked a few of our sites to participate in the National CACFP Week by having classrooms create collages to show different foods we offer for different meals

We are celebrating CACFP week by promoting healthy meals and introducing new foods to the children in our care, using the book Fast Food by Saxton Freymann and Joost Elffers as inspiration

We are introducing new foods this week. And they all did pretty well for lunch.
