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, before- and after-school
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.
