Expressing support for the designation of the third week of March as "National CACFP Week".

Key Points

• This resolution officially recognizes the third week of March as a time to focus on the Child and Adult Care Food Program. This federal program helps pay for healthy meals and snacks for millions of people across the country.
• The program serves more than 4.5 million children in places like daycare centers, after-school programs, and emergency shelters. It also provides food for 120,000 adults in daycare centers every single day.
• The resolution highlights how these meals help prevent health problems like obesity and reduce the chances of children needing to go to the hospital. It also makes childcare more affordable for families in low-income and rural areas.
• While the resolution is mostly about recognition, it also calls for improvements to the program. These include paying for extra meals for kids in full-day care and making it easier for more childcare centers to qualify for help.
