This resolution expresses support for the designation of the third week of March as "National CACFP Week." It highlights the critical role of the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) in providing nutritious meals and snacks to over 4.5 million children and 120,000 adults daily across various care settings. The program is recognized for improving children's health, reducing malnutrition, and enhancing the quality of childcare, particularly in low-income communities, while also supporting Head Start and military childcare programs. The House of Representatives acknowledges CACFP's significant impact on the cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development of children and adults. It urges specific actions to strengthen CACFP , including offering reimbursement for an additional meal or snack, reducing area eligibility requirements, and addressing administrative burdens to participation. The resolution also emphasizes CACFP's potential as an important tool for reducing costs within the care economy.
