MISSION STATEMENT

Karamu’s Mission is to provide low cost, high quality services to Tennessee’s childcare providers and the children and families they serve.

The CACFP is designed to provide good nutrition, but the USDA can only do so much. At Karamu we are committed to making nutrition easy and economical for providers. We do this by offering a host of benefits to assure that your CACFP participation is a pleasant and positive experience. Our benefits include simple and easy forms, a variety of economical pre-planned menus, courteous and convenient training & support, detailed reimbursement statements, and direct deposit of your meal reimbursement money. We serve practically every county and DHS district in the state. So no matter where you are in Tennessee, we’re there for you!
