A resolution designating the third week of March 2026 as "National CACFP Week".

Plain-English Summary

This resolution officially designates the third week of March 2026 as "National CACFP Week." CACFP stands for the Child and Adult Care Food Program, a federally funded nutrition program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) that provides healthy meals and snacks to children in day care settings, after-school programs, and adults in day care facilities, as well as to children living in emergency shelters.

The resolution is largely symbolic in nature — it does not create new laws, change existing programs, or allocate any funding. Instead, it serves as an official acknowledgment by the U.S. Senate recognizing the importance of the CACFP program and the people who run it, including child care providers, family day care homes, and adult care centers that participate in the program.

The resolution affects a broad range of Americans, particularly the millions of children and adults who receive nutritious meals through CACFP each day, as well as the care providers and organizations who participate in the program. By designating a national awareness week, Congress is drawing public attention to the role this program plays in fighting hunger and supporting healthy development among vulnerable populations.

The Senate passed this resolution unanimously, meaning it had the support of all senators present, with no opposition recorded.
