FRAC Chat

During the holidays and all year long, millions of individuals and families who struggle against hunger are able to access healthy food with support from the federal nutrition programs. To celebrate the nation’s nutrition safety net, FRAC is releasing a seven-part “Remember This December” series that will highlight the impact of seven important federal nutrition programs.

This is the fifth installment of the series, which focuses on the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Read the previous installment on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
