Nourishing Every Child:
CCFC and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)

Good food is the foundation of a good day

At Cross-Cultural Family Center, we believe every child learns, plays, and grows best when they are well-nourished. That belief is why CCFC proudly participates in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) — a state- and federally-funded child nutrition program that helps us serve healthy, balanced meals and snacks to the children in our care, at no cost to families.

Every day, our centers serve breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack planned to meet the nutrition standards set by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Our menus feature colorful fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and age-appropriate portions designed to fuel active bodies and healthy minds. As our weekly menus say: a rainbow of colorful, nutritious food helps us grow strong and healthy.

About the Child and Adult Care Food Program

The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a state- and federally-funded child nutrition program designed to provide nutritious meals and snacks to infants, children, and adults in care. Participating providers like CCFC are reimbursed for the nutritious meals and snacks they serve, so that quality nutrition is never a barrier for the families we serve. The goal of the program is to enhance the health and well-being of participants by making wholesome food a consistent part of every day. In California, the program is administered by the California Department of Social Services (CDSS) CACFP Branch.

Our commitment to nutrition

Participating in CACFP means CCFC holds itself to high, measurable standards for the food we serve:

Breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack are provided to enrolled children at no cost to families.
Menus are planned in advance, posted at every center, and made available to families on request.
Meals meet USDA and CACFP nutrition requirements, including age-appropriate milk, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
We accommodate documented food allergies, dietary restrictions, and cultural or religious dietary needs in partnership with families.
Accommodations and meal modifications for children with disabilities are available upon request at no cost.
Fresh drinking water is available to children throughout the day.

Civil Rights and Nondiscrimination

Participating in a USDA nutrition program is not only a commitment to good food — it is a commitment to serving every child and family fairly and without discrimination. Civil rights protections are a core part of CACFP, and CCFC takes them seriously.

Our ongoing civil rights commitment

As a CACFP participant, CCFC upholds federal civil rights requirements in everything we do around our food program:

Annual civil rights training. All CCFC staff who work with the food program complete civil rights training each year, so our team understands how to serve families equitably, provide language access, accommodate disabilities, and respond appropriately to any concern.
Equal access for all families. Meals and program benefits are offered to every enrolled child on an equal basis, regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age.
Language access. Program information is made available in families' primary languages, and interpretation and translation are provided at no cost.
The "And Justice for All" poster is displayed prominently at each CCFC site, as required by USDA.
A clear complaint pathway. Any family who believes they have experienced discrimination has the right to file a complaint, and the process is explained openly below.

U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Nondiscrimination Statement

Program information may be made available in languages other than English.
