From the Vermont Campaign to End Childhood Hunger and VTDOE Nutrition Office
Simplified CACFP Application Available Soon! Taking examples from other states, the Campaign worked with the Child Nutrition Division at the Vermont Department of Education to shorten the lengthy application for the Child and Adult Care Food Program, which had long been cited by providers as a barrier to participation.
The simplified application, shortened from 45 to 9 pages, will help increase CACFP participation, allow providers to enroll faster, begin receiving reimbursements sooner, and bring money into the state that would otherwise be forfeited. It is currently being formatted at the Vermont Department of Education and will go out to interested providers this month!
