Oakton Sponsors Child and Adult Care Food Program

The Early Childhood Demonstration Centers at Oakton Community College are sponsors of the Child and Adult Care Food Program. This program is designed primarily to provide nutritious meals to all children in child care centers, Head Start programs, Outside School Hours Program centers, At-Risk After-School Snack and Supper Programs, and homeless shelters. Meals are available at no separate charge to children.

In the operation of the Child and Adult Care Food Program, no child will be discriminated against because of race, color, national origin, gender, age, or disability. Any person who believes he or she has been discriminated against in any USDA-related activity should write immediately to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D.C., 20250.

USDA Income Eligibility Guidelines for Free and Reduced-Priced Meals (July 1, 2006, through July 30, 2007) can be found online at: http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/care/ProgramBasics/IEGs/Income_Eligibility_Current.htm
