The USDA determines the meal reimbursement rates for those organizations that participate in the CACFP. These rates are updated annually and vary based on reported family income. Because we are a community-based organization, we are focused on the quality of services and its impact on the community rather than making a profit. We keep our pricing in line with CACFP reimbursement rates, remaining conscientiousness of your organization’s budget. Our objective is to provide a service and products at minimum cost while maximizing quality.
