Support for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)

This House Resolution supports a program that provides daily meals and snacks to over 4.2 million children and 138,000 adults in care settings. The aim is to improve health, child development, and support care facilities, especially in the face of financial challenges.
Key points
The CACFP program provides nearly 2.1 billion nutritious meals and snacks annually, aiding in the healthy development of children and adults.
Participation in the program reduces the prevalence of children who are overweight or underweight and improves the quality of childcare, especially in low-income communities.
The resolution urges strengthening the program by offering reimbursement for an additional meal, annual eligibility for for-profit centers, and reducing administrative burdens.
The program helps reduce care costs, supporting working families and small businesses, and enhances the viability of care centers.
