A bit about being a board member: "I’ve enjoyed being the Treasurer for The National CACFP Forum board this past year and a half. I have been able to expand many of my skills, and enjoyed getting to know the various board members. I was able to attend the National CACFP Leadership Conference in D.C. and was able to be an advocate for our CACFP programs, child care providers and families in my state and nationally. It was a great opportunity to learn from other CACFP programs and to learn from and interact with legislative staff and see that side of our program. I really enjoyed learning more about the Food Research Action Center and the advocacy work being done. This has been a wonderful experience and I have been so glad to be a part of such a wonderful organization with a great vision and passion that speaks to me personally and look forward to many more years ahead with this program."Ipek Taffe, The National CACFP Forum Board of Directors Treasurer 2015-present."

Want to know what providers are really thinking about CACFP. One thing is for sure, they talk alot about the Food Program, not CACFP. Here are a few questions seen on Facebook this past week: 1. Are you all licensed providers or on the state food programs? Some of the meals I see on here in our group do not seem up to the food program's standards. I have to serve 2 fruit/veggies, 1 whole grain, 1 protein and milk with every meal. Snacks are more flexible just has to be a combination of two groups. 2. Food Program vs Not? I'm mixed on what to do since I fall in the Tier 2. Any helpful info would be appreciated. 3. Those on the food program: how big of a pain is it, really? And is it better to do the program or claim the food expense at the end of the year? 4. I'm on the food program. We are suppose to serve fish at least once a week. What do you all serve to get your requirement in?
Skim through the responses below, you might be surprised. 1. Are you all licensed providers or on the state food programs?
