CACFP Training Spotlight (All)

CACFP training will be provided monthly throughout Fiscal Year 2022 in the form of handouts called CACFP Training Spotlight. Each month's handout will focus on a different CACFP topic and include specific guidance on how to successfully complete CACFP requirements. The first CACFP Training Spotlight is on Production Records, which applies to all programs except for Emergency Shelters and Family Daycare Home Providers. The CACFP Training Spotlight will be distributed every month via the DPI CACFP Bulletin and posted on the CACFP Training Spotlight webpage when they become available.

Annual Civil Rights Training Reminder (All)

All CACFP-participating agencies must provide annual civil rights training to staff members who interact with program participants and those who supervise these staff. In order to assure that all USDA Civil Rights required subject matter is covered, agencies should use DPI's CACFP Civil Rights Training PowerPoint and/or Handout to complete the required civil rights training. Records must be retained indicating staff who received civil rights training, topics covered, and date(s) training was completed. Agencies may utilize the Civil Rights Training Attendance Sheet to document this.
