About Nutrition Services
The Nutrition Services Division of Bright from the Start administers Georgia’s Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and Happy Helpings, a Summer Food Service Program. These federal nutrition programs funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) ensure that children and adults throughout Georgia have
access to nutritious meals while they are in a day care setting and during the summer when school is not in session. These programs help alleviate hunger and
malnutrition and address the negative effects that hunger and malnutrition have on an individual's health, educational development, and growth. The
CACFP
and the Happy Helpings help improve the overall nutritional status of many of Georgia’s most vulnerable citizens.
