## Summary

**Support for the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP)** would recognize CACFP's role feeding vulnerable children and adults and would designate the third week of March 2025 as National CACFP Week. - Families and children: Would highlight CACFP’s reach to about 4.5 million children daily and its role in providing roughly 1.7 billion nutritious meals and snacks each year. Research cited links participation to lower rates of underweight, overweight, or obesity and to fewer hospitalizations. - Older adults: Would cover about 115,000 adults daily in adult day care, improving nutrition in adult day care homes. - Providers and programs: Would affirm CACFP’s support for Head Start, child care (including military child care), family day care homes, emergency shelters, and after-school programs, boosting quality and viability in low-income and rural communities. - Policy changes urged: Would push for steps like reimbursing an extra full-day meal, lowering area eligibility from 50 percent to 40 percent, allowing annual eligibility for for-profit child care centers, factoring in annual food inflation fairly, and reducing administrative burdens. - Care economy and small providers: Frames CACFP as a tool to reduce costs for the care economy and to support working families and small businesses through public-private sponsorships.
