Helping Every Eligible Child Access Summer & After-School Meals
SFSP-CACFP Nutrition Programs
Our team has more than 35 years combined experience with essential USDA nutrition initiatives including the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). We understand the complexities of these federal programs inside and out, and have worked with a wide range of partners to help support impactful summer and after school programs from school districts, to food banks, community-based organizations, day cares, and beyond.
We know that no one model fits every sponsor or site. With a range of flexible solutions, our team can develop a meal solution to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re operating a parent pick-up SFSP program, looking for home-delivered solutions in your rural community, or operating a smaller after-school program, we can help.
Summer Food Service Program
The USDA’s 2023 rule changes have expanded the models for the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) and provided new opportunities for feeding even more eligible children during summer break. Our team was pivotal in developing the pilot program that lead to what is now the Rural Non-Congregate (RNC) model, with at-home delivered meals. The new RNC model allows meals to be distributed in new ways to create more equity in meal programs and Umoja can help you implement these solutions seamlessly.
