The Champion Fuel Food Program provides the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) and the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) to tens of thousands of children across the state of Texas daily. These programs are designed to provide nutritious snacks and meals to students participating in enrichment programs. At-risk CACFP snacks and meals can be served if at least 50% of your school location is approved for free and reduced lunch for all youth up to 18 years of age. Schools, community centers, day care centers, apartments, and churches are all qualified locations of service.

Be A Champion Little Coogs Program began in 2002 in partnership with the University of Houston. The program caters to past, present, and future Cougars of today. As an outreach program, it organizes events and programs to youth providing exposure to a college campus and game day experience. The program is supported by generous sponsors and alumni from the University of Houston and corporate partners, allowing thousands of kids to attend UH sporting events each year. Through the program, we offer campus facility tours, academic incentive programs, drug awareness, motivational speaking, hospital visits, food drives and youth tailgating parties. Each game's tailgating party serves 1,500 kids.

CACFP Training (School Year: August-May)

Be A Champion, Inc. is an after school meal program provider through the Texas Department of Agriculture. This program is designed to assist students with academic and social growth through the resources provided by the meal program. We are very thankful for your support as we strive to implement our mission of enhancing student performance. The training materials contain information on the required annual CACFP and Civil Rights Training for your continued reference. Also included in the materials is the Civil Rights complaint form.

Below are key points found in the training that we want to highlight as imperative to continue receiving funding for this great program.

Point-of-Service Attendance

• The meals must be distributed in a point-of-service manner. This means the student should be marked during real-time as he/she receives a meal.
• You cannot use classroom attendance, or fill it out before or after a student taking a meal, it must be point-of-service on approved BAC forms.

Complete Meals Include Milk

• Both the MILK and MEAL must be taken together.
• Share table can be created for students to place unwanted items such as milk, or a component inside the pre-packaged meal. HOWEVER, share tables are no longer allowed in Harris County and Fort Bend County due to health department regulations.

Serve Time

• Complete meals should only be served during the serve time.
• All meals/milks must be consumed on-site, and all leftovers including share table items must be thrown away.

Civil Rights

• Any person who believes he or she has been discriminated against based on the protected classes has a right to file a complaint.
• Examples of Civil Rights Discrimination include, but are not limited to, giving extra meals to boys rather than girls, lining up the students by age or gender to receive a meal, not giving a meal to a student for any reason other than not having enough meals.
• Provide complainant with a copy of the USDA Program Discrimination Complaint Form, found in the site binder at every site. In the event that the complainant asks for other options, direct the complainant to the “And Justice For All” poster found at every site.
• If the complainant gives the completed form back to site staff, the completed form must be immediately forwarded to the sponsor, Be A Champion, Inc.
