Request to Add New CACFP Site(s)

Sponsor Request to Add Affiliated CACFP Site(s)

Institutions who enter into an agreement with the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) Child Nutrition Services (CNS) to operate the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), do so either as an Independent Center or a Sponsoring Organization. An “Independent Center” refers to a sponsor who operates a single site. A “Sponsoring Organization” refers to a sponsor who operates multiple sites where services are provided with each “site” having its own address. To add or reactivate affiliated sites, Sponsors must submit this request. OSPI will review requests to add sites and, if eligible, add or reactivate sites in WINS.
