CACFP week is March 14-20, 2021!

Together, let’s educate families and the community about how your participation in CACFP supports growing children! Your commitment to serving well-balanced, and nutritious meals helps ensure long-term health benefits by establishing healthy eating habits early in life.   

To celebrate and thank you for being part of this program, and to show the community what amazing work you do, we have planned some fun activities to be carried out on social media. 

To participate, please complete at least 1 of the activities listed below during the week of March 14-20, 2021, post to Facebook, and tag #CACFPWEEK (be sure your settings allow the post to be viewed by the public). If you wish to participate, but don’t use Facebook, you can email your pictures to foodprogram@brightsideup.org. You will be entered to win a $100 gift card to Price Chopper. Please be sure to inform parents, or gain their permission, if you share pictures of their children.
