Proclaim the third week of March as National CACFP Week to promote USDA's program for child and adult nutrition.

CACFP Week is a national education and information campaign sponsored annually by the National CACFP Sponsors Association. The campaign is designed to raise awareness of the how the USDA's Child and Adult Care Food Program works to combat hunger and bring healthy foods to the table for adult day care and children in child care homes, centers, and in afterschool and summer feeding programs across the country. One of the basic rights of children, as set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by Eleanor Roosevelt in 1948, is their right to basic nutrition. Caring for the children must be our nation’s first priority. The CACFP program provides approximately 1.9 billion healthy meals and snacks to over 3.2 million children. Because this program is so important we seek your support.
