Attorneys with Advocates for Faith and Freedom joined forces with Alliance Defending Freedom and the National Center for Law and Policy to reach a settlement to protect the rights of low-income migrant families who seek to place their children in faith-based preschool programs. The settlement acknowledges that while the Church of Compassion and Dayspring Christian Learning Center are faith-based organizations, they are eligible to continue participating in the federal food program granting access to free and reduced meals for low-income families who attend.
