ECECD’s Family Nutrition Bureau administers two USDA Child Nutrition Programs, the Child and Adult Care Food Program and the Summer Food Service Program. The funds provided through these programs help ensure that eligible children and adults receive nutritious meals that meet USDA meal pattern requirements.

For more information on ECECD’s Family Nutrition Program, please call (505) 841-4856 (in Albuquerque) or (505) 827-9961 (in Santa Fe).

To find the summer food meal site nearest you, visit summerfoodnm.org or call 1-800-EAT-COOL.

Please note: In addition to licensing or registered home requirements, each city and county has rules about business in their localities. Check with your city government offices about rules and regulations and fees that apply to your home based child care.
