National CACFP Week: Recognition for Food Programs
Legislative Progress
Key Points
- The Senate officially named the week starting March 15, 2026, as "National CACFP Week." This is a ceremonial move to bring attention to a federal program that provides healthy meals and snacks to millions of children and adults every day.
- The program being honored, the Child and Adult Care Food Program, serves more than 4.5 million children in daycare centers, emergency shelters, and after-school programs. It also provides meals for over 120,000 adults in day care facilities across the country.
- This recognition highlights how the program helps small businesses, like family daycare homes, stay open by helping with food costs. Studies show that kids in the program are less likely to end up in the hospital and are more likely to have a healthy weight and a better diet.
