Child Nutrition Story Map

The Colorado Blueprint to End Hunger. with support from the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment and Colorado Department of Education, updated its child nutrition story map in Spring 2024.

The online resource was initiated by the Blueprint’s Workgroup #5 and made publicly available to help maximize federal child nutrition programs across Colorado. It maps out the current state of the Child & Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) – looking at participation rates and sites – to better understand and identify gaps in access as well as areas of opportunity for expanded access. 

Organizations can use the interactive map to boost awareness about the programs; identify potential partnerships, new site locations, and sponsors; tell stories about their community’s needs; and promote continued program flexibility.
