Support for Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)
The House of Representatives expresses support for the CACFP program, which provides meals and snacks to children and adults in care settings. This program improves children's health and development, and supports care facilities, especially in rural areas and for low-income families. The designation of "National CACFP Week" aims to raise awareness of its importance.
Key points
The CACFP program provides daily meals and snacks to over 4.2 million children and 138,000 adults, supporting their healthy development and nutrition.
Participation in the program reduces the prevalence of underweight, overweight, or obesity in children, and improves the quality of care, especially in low-income communities.
It supports care facilities, including those in rural areas, by covering meal costs and reducing administrative burdens, which helps working families and small businesses.
The House of Representatives supports strengthening the program, including offering reimbursement for an additional meal/snack and annual eligibility for for-profit child care centers.
