The Access to Nutritious Meals for Young Children Act
What if we could provide nutritious meals for more of America’s hungry children?
The Child and Adult Food Care Program (CACFP) is a great program that provides healthy meals to more than 3.3 million children each day. Yet there are still millions of hungry children who don’t have access to these meals.
The Access to Nutritious Meals for Young Children Act would:
- Expand eligibility for the program to more children.
- Allow child care centers and homes the option of serving a third meal service for children who are in care for 8 or more hours.
- Increase reimbursements for child care centers and family child care providers by 10 cents per child per meal.
For many children, the meals from this program are the most nutritious meals they will eat all week. Many working parents who send their kids to child care and after school programs rely on these meals as a quality source of nutrition for their children.
“I serve a high population of children in poverty. This program allows for healthy meals to be served and the guidelines help introduce many foods these kids have never seen.”
-Heather Salem, AFSCME member and child care provider
