The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury Human Services Department, in conjunction with the Louisiana State Department of Education, announces its sponsorship of the Family Day Care Home Food Program. The program helps those who provide child care in their homes pay for the cost of feeding the children two meals and a snack for each day of care. The day care provider must be approved for participation in the program.
Any resident of Calcasieu, Allen, Jefferson Davis and Beauregard Parishes are eligible to participate in the program if they are currently providing child care services to children from birth to twelve years of age in their home. Their home must also meet fire and safety standards as established by the State of Louisiana.
All children in attendance will be offered the same meals at no separate charge and with no physical segregation of or other discrimination against any child because of race, color, national origin, sex, disability, age or reprisal or retaliation for prior civil rights activity in any program or activity conducted or funded by USDA.
Persons with disabilities who require alternative means of communication for program information (e.g. Braille, large print, audiotape, American Sign Language, etc.) should contact the Agency (State or local) where they applied for benefits. Individuals who are deaf, hard of hearing or have speech disabilities may contact USDA through the Federal Relay Services at (800) 877-8339. Additionally, program information may be made available in languages other than English.
