Key Points

  • This resolution officially recognizes the third week of March 2025 as a special week to honor the Child and Adult Care Food Program. This program helps provide healthy meals and snacks to millions of children and adults across the country.
  • The program serves about 4.5 million children in daycare, after-school programs, and shelters, as well as 115,000 adults in day care centers. Every year, it covers the costs for nearly 1.7 billion nutritious meals and snacks.
  • Research shows that this program helps kids grow up at a healthy weight and reduces their chances of needing to go to the hospital. It also helps lower the costs of childcare for working families and supports small businesses that provide care.
  • The resolution also suggests ways to make the program better in the future, such as paying for an extra meal for children who are in care for a full day and making it easier for more centers in low-income areas to participate.
