Cacfp sponsor admin

The Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service awarded the Wyoming Department of Education $240,000 on October 1, 2025, under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CFDA 10.558) for CACFP sponsor administration. The award runs through September 30, 2027, with performance in Wyoming.

The program provides reimbursements for nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children and adults enrolled in participating child care centers, day care homes, and adult day care facilities, and supports state administrative expenses. Wyoming Department of Education administers CACFP in partnership with the USDA Food and Nutrition Service, entering into agreements with child and adult care institutions and ensuring compliance with federal requirements. The state agency must process institution applications within 30 calendar days and establish audit policies for for-profit institutions.

The Kids Nutrition Co, Inc., a woman-owned nonprofit, serves as the sub-recipient, receiving reimbursements for meals and snacks provided through day care home sponsor arrangements. The source documents multiple sub-awards to The Kids Nutrition Co, Inc. dated between December 31, 2025, and July 31, 2026, for CACFP day care home sponsor administrative reimbursement. This is a formula grant, an assistance type under which the state agency distributes federal funds to participating care institutions and sponsors based on federal allocation formulas.
