Hungry NO MORE Free Food!!

Helping The Community

At Our Mission Guided By Faith Foundation, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing issues.

One of the issues is the At-Risk Afterschool Program through the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). The CACFP provides funding for snacks and suppers in organized after school programs. The food program not only benefits children by providing needed nutrition but has also been shown to help reduce or prevent children's involvement in juvenile crime or other high-risk behaviors.

Eligible facilities must serve meals and snacks meeting program requirements; maintain accurate and complete records; and train center personnel in program requirements and operations.

​

The purpose of the program must be to provide care in afterschool settings. This does not mean that the program must offer formal, all-day childcare

​

Site Eligibility Requirements

​

• Any after school program operated by a public or private organization must be located in a low-income ("at-risk") area to be eligible for reimbursement for snacks and/or suppers. To qualify as low-income, the site must be located in an area served by a school where at least 50 percent of the enrolled children are certified as eligible to receive free or reduced-price school lunches.

• The afterschool program must be licensed by the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Bureau of Child Care, or be exempt from licensing requirements. Exempt organizations must, however, submit documentation to show that minimum health and safety standards are being met. At a minimum, documentation must include a fire safety inspection report and a sanitation report.

• Family Child Care Homes do not qualify for the at-risk afterschool snack and supper program.
