One of our CAPSC nutrition programs focuses on providing meals to afterschool programs, summer camps, and summer schools throughout the county through our participation with CACFP (Child and Adult Care Food Program). If you’re looking for nutrition support for your program, please contact Patty Menard.
Every year in November, CAPSC’s nutrition team develops, prepares, and cooks a delicious holiday meal for our kiddos and families to enjoy, bringing our families a day of joy during a time of year that can be very challenging. We typically provide a meal at each of our education centers in Dover, Rochester, and Farmington, so that families can share a meal with their kiddos, teachers, and staff at each center. We are now seeking volunteers and sponsors to support this event. Please contact Patty Menard for more information.
The NHCAA Diaper Distribution Program’s goal is to provide access to clean and dry diapers for any child who needs them, and connect families with supportive resources. We are seeking volunteers and donations throughout New Hampshire to help support this program. You can find more information on our Diaper Distribution page. Please reach out to us with any questions.
