Oregon is one of a few pilot states that serves free meals and snacks through the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). CACFP After-School Meals give a nutritional boost to children, including teenagers through age 18, in eligible afterschool programs in lower income areas in every state.  Afterschool programs that serve meals, draw children and teenagers into constructive activities that are safe, fun, and filled with opportunities for learning. The food gives them the nutrition they need to learn and grow.  When school is out and parents are still at work, children need a safe place to be with their friends, with structured activities, and supportive adults. 

• After School Meals are served at no charge to all children attending a qualified school that offers organized, regularly scheduled after school education, or enrichment activities. 
• Please Note:  Children DO NOT have to be enrolled in the club or activity in order to receive a meal.
• There are no application forms for parents or guardians to fill out. All after-school meals and snacks are served in group settings, at no cost to the child or to the child's parents or guardians.

(1) Serving of Meat/Meat Alternate - 2 ounces

(1) Serving of Bread/Grain - 1 ounce

(1) Serving of Vegetables and/or Fruits - 3/4 cup total

(1) Serving of Fluid Milk - 8 ounces

 

• What is Offer Versus Serve in CACFP?
• Examples of Offer Versus Serve

• Public entities, including school districts
• Private non-profit organizations
• Some for-profit centers

To be eligible, an after school program must:

• Be located in an area of need – Refer to the state list here:  http://www.ode.state.or.us/wma/nutrition/cacfp/cacfp-public-regular-schools-greater-than-or-equal-to-50pct-eligibility_20140214.pdf
• Be located at a school in which 50% or more of their students are eligible for meal benfits, or located in an attendance boundary of another school that does qualify. (a program can also be housed at a church, homeless shelter or other facility located in an area of need.)
• Have regularly scheduled educational or enrichment activities
• Work with school age children and youth through age 18
• Not charge for the after school meals
