Key Points
- This resolution officially names the week starting March 16, 2025, as National CACFP Week. The goal is to raise awareness for the Child and Adult Care Food Program, which is a federal effort run by the Department of Agriculture.
- The program provides healthy meals and snacks to over 4.5 million children in daycare centers, family homes, and emergency shelters. It also serves more than 115,000 adults in day care facilities across the country.
- By highlighting this program, the Senate recognizes how important good nutrition is for young children and vulnerable adults. Research shows that people in the program are less likely to be hospitalized and more likely to maintain a healthy weight.
- This action is ceremonial and does not change any laws or provide new money for the program. It is meant to honor the public and private partnerships that help small businesses and working families, especially in rural and low-income areas.
