THE GATE COMMUNITY YOUTH CENTER
The Gate Youth Association is an official sponsor of the CACFP Food Program and participates as an At Risk/Afterschool meal provider. Daily, students who are served by The Gate (6th-12th Grade) can receive a five component “supper” meal between 3:15 & 4:15 pm. A two component “snack” is also served from 4:15-5 pm.
The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a federal program that provides reimbursements for nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children and adults who are enrolled for care at participating child care centers, day care homes, and adult day care centers. CACFP also provides reimbursements for meals served to children and youth participating in afterschool care programs, children residing in emergency shelters, and adults over the age of 60 or living with a disability and enrolled in day care facilities. CACFP contributes to the wellness, healthy growth, and development of young children and adults in the United States.
