CACFP is a reimbursement program that provides aid to child and adult care institutions and family or group day care homes for the provision of nutritious foods that contribute to the wellness, healthy growth and development of young children and the health and wellness of older adults and chronically impaired disabled persons. This decision came about while working closely with our Quality First team and is an effort to improve the quality of the meals and snacks we provide here at MCCC toward improved health and wellness of our children.
If you haven’t done so yet, please print and fill out the Income Eligibility Application below. This is a similar form the public schools use to determine if you qualify for free or reduced lunch. Your child’s breakfast, am snack and pm snack are included in the price of your child’s daycare. Filling out the following form does not affect your daycare rate, and your information will be kept confidential and secure. Filling out the form will determine our rate of reimbursement, funds that we will put back into our school. Funds we would like to use to get our Preschool children a Hot Lunch!
If you would like more information about this program and its benefits, you can visit their website.

If you have any questions about the form, how we are going to utilize the funds, what affect this will have on our menu, any questions at all, feel free to direct them to our School and Church Office Administrator Debi Martin.
This institution is an equal opportunity provider.
