## Summary

**Strengthening the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)**. This resolution would recognize the third week of March as National CACFP Week and urge changes to expand meal access, update reimbursements, and reduce paperwork to boost participation. - Children and families: Children in full-day care could get an extra reimbursed meal or snack, supporting healthier growth and more varied diets. CACFP already serves about 4.5 million children daily. - Childcare providers and sponsors: Lowering area eligibility from 50% to 40% and offering annual eligibility to for-profit centers would open the program to more sites. Factoring in annual food inflation and cutting administrative burdens aims to make reimbursements fairer and participation easier. - Adults and vulnerable sites: Adult daycare centers and emergency shelters would continue receiving meal support, with CACFP serving about 120,000 adults daily. The resolution cites links between CACFP participation and outcomes like reduced hospitalizations and healthier weight gain. - Head Start, military, rural, and local economies: The text highlights CACFP’s role in strengthening Head Start, military childcare, and rural programs and promotes pairing sites with nonprofit sponsors or State agencies to support working families and small businesses.
