Child and Adult Care Food Program
The Child and Adult Food Care Program (CACFP) is a federal program that provides reimbursements for nutritious meals and snacks to eligible children and adults who are enrolled for care at participating childcare centers, daycare homes, and adult day care centers. CACFP also provides reimbursements for meals served to children and youth participating in afterschool care programs, children residing in emergency shelters, and adults over the age of 60 or living with a disability and enrolled in daycare facilities. CACFP contributes to the wellness, healthy growth, and development of young children and adults in the United States as our goal is to service the state of Minnesota.
Summer Food Service Program
The Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) provides nutritious meals at no cost to children in low-income communities when school is not in session. All children and teens (age 18 and under) who visit the organization’s approved SFSP feeding site can receive meals at no cost. No registrations or applications are required. Meals are also available for people with disabilities who are over age 18 and participate in school programs for the mentally or physically disabled.
Additionally, we have a host of other program offerings available through our partner networks
Vital Program Goals
Our goal is to help ensure and protect the continued growth of the youth within our various immigrant/ at-risk communities by addressing the issues they face directly. We focus on strengthening the family bond by stimulating open family communication as this allows the youth to become less susceptible to bad influences that may prevent them from academic and lifelong success. By supporting strong, lasting relationships based on trust and integrity we will enable our youth to effectively compete on the global platform. To achieve these goals, we feel it is crucial to help families focus on:
- Academic success, self-confidence, and esteem
- Job training, career planning, and skill pathways
- How to establish measurable, meaningful, and motivational goals
- Enhancing leadership and interpersonal skills
- Managing conflict resolution and social responsibility
Upcoming Fundraiser
This December 2021, Success Institute is partnering with local area parties to carry out an event to remember. It allows noteworthy people and local area businesses to invest in our best resource yet, “Our children!”
At this event we will have talent performances such as poetry readings, religious dance performances, special interest showings and give awards to local area individuals and businesses for their stellar leadership and community service.
Contact us to see how you can help with this special event!
Annual Leadership Summit
Every year we host a youth summit that is suited to answer many troubling issues within our communities. Our youth are integrating in ways that are not always as productive as we would have hoped. Some are plagued with drug addiction and have fallen into criminal activities. Success Institute has partnered with numerous local religious programs, religious organizations, and city council member Kevin Boyce’s office to bring solutions that will change the current prejudiced narrative to a positive view for our future generations.
We are serious about changing the tide for the betterment of the Metropolitan area communities within Minnesota.
For more information or if you are interested in becoming our partner in this effort, please consider becoming a volunteer or donating to this very vital and worthy cause please call us directly or contact us here.
