This resolution expresses support for designating the third week of March 2025 as "National CACFP Week" to raise awareness about the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). CACFP is a crucial initiative that provides nutritious meals and snacks daily to over 4.5 million children and 115,000 adults in various care settings, including child care centers, family day care homes, emergency shelters, and adult day care centers. The program plays a significant role in fostering healthy growth, improving nutrition, and reducing the prevalence of underweight, overweight, or obesity in children. The House of Representatives recognizes CACFP's importance in enhancing the health and development of the country's most vulnerable populations. It urges continued support to strengthen CACFP by offering reimbursement for additional meals, reducing area eligibility requirements, and providing annual eligibility to for-profit child care centers. Furthermore, the resolution calls for fair adjustments for annual food inflation and reduced administrative burdens, acknowledging that CACFP can be an important tool in reducing costs within the care economy.
