CACFP At Risk Afterschool Food Program Testimonials Having CACFP meals offered in our 5 after school programs has provided a means of nutrition to many of our food insecure students. Our after school program students thoroughly enjoy sitting down around the table, family style, to enjoy their meals together. Kristen McFarland 21st CCLC Program Director for RSU 24 Deer Isles-Stonington Elementary School had a very successful CACFP program the last part of SY2021. It was great that we could offer a supper meal to the students, we called it a Super Snack, it was well received by everyone. We are in hopes of reaching more of our students this coming year, it is a good feeling knowing those kids are not going to bed hungry at night. Shelia Nevells Deer Isle-Stonington School Nutrition Director Kids who participate in after school activities need food to carry them over until the family supper which is often being pushed from 5 to 6 and in my homes even towards 7 pm. Kids need food to bridge the gap from the close of school until the family meal time. CACFP funding allows us to provide healthy food to bridge that gap.
