If I could go back in time and not have wasted my time with the food program, I would! I think it's more of a hassle than a helpful thing. My reimbursement is only slightly over $200 a month and I am almost always at capacity. I had a friend who had less kids in care (not counting her own 3) and she got about $800 a month. It's not like groceries cost any less for me to buy than for her! I hate getting the food program visits, especially when they are the unscheduled ones. I feel like I have to take too much attention away from my dcks and I really don't like that. I hate having to serve whole or 2% milk to the kids when I would much rather serve 1%. The food program check barely puts a scratch on my grocery bill. OK, vent over, lol!
