SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (ABC4 News) – Salt Lake City’s Youth and Family Services announced Tuesday afternoon their sponsorship of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CAFP).
CAFP is a federally funded program striving to better the wellness, growth, and development of children and adults by providing organizations with reimbursement for nutritious meals or snacks.
“During this difficult time, many local children are having trouble accessing nutritious meals,” said Kim Thomas, Salt Lake City’s Youth and Family Services Director. “We hope that sponsoring the Child Care Food Program will have a positive, lasting impact on these children as it helps them develop healthy eating habits that will continue into adulthood.”
Salt Lake City residents will be eligible for CAFP benefits if they are enrolled in one of the City’s youth programs.
Meals will be provided at the following facilities listed below.
