Strengthening Child Care By Reducing Food Costs

Two vital bills to strengthen the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) have just been reintroduced in Congress — and they could make a huge difference for providers and the children they serve.

These bills would:

• Raise reimbursement rates for all CACFP providers
• Eliminate tiering in family child care homes
• Allow reimbursement for additional meals
• Simplify outdated requirements
• Reduce administrative burdens
• Expand access of nutritious meals to those that need it the most

Take action today. Tell your legislators to support CACFP improvements.
