Child and Adult Care Food Programs (CACFP) – Centers – Site-Level Contact and Program Participation – Program Year 2020-2021
<b><a href=https://form.jotform.com/212794867706167 target="_blank">Help us provide the most useful data by completing our ODP User Feedback Survey for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Data</a></b><p>
<b>About the Dataset</b><br>
This dataset contains contact and program participation information for all Texas child and adult care centers approved by the Texas Department of Agriculture to operate as a meal site under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) during the 2020-2021 program year. CACFP centers include Adult Day Care Centers (ADC), Child Care Centers (CCC), At-Risk Afterschool Centers (At-Risk), Head Start Centers, emergency shelters, and centers providing care for students outside school hours.</b> Sites can participate in one or more CACFP sub-programs. The CACFP program year begins October 1 and ends September 30.<p>
In March 2020, USDA began allowing flexibility in nutrition assistance program policy to support continued meal access should the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) impact meal service operation. For more information on the waivers implemented for this purpose, please visit our website at <a href=http://www.SquareMeals.org target="_blank">SquareMeals.org</a>. <p>
This dataset only includes information for CACFP centers. <b>For data on Texas Day Care Homes (DCH) participating in CACFP, please refer to the “Child and Adult Care Food Programs (CACFP) – Day Care Homes – Contact and Program Participation” dataset, also on the State of Texas Open Data Portal.</b><p>

<i>Dataset content and column order have been updated starting with program year 2018-2019 forward. Older program year datasets will retain original content and organization.</i> <p>

Any data posted during the active update period is subject to change. After 90 days from the close of the program year, the dataset will remain published but will no longer be updated.<p>
