A resolution designating the third week of March 2025 as "National CACFP Week".

Plain-English Summary

This resolution officially designates the third week of March 2025 as "National CACFP Week." CACFP stands for the Child and Adult Care Food Program, which is a federal nutrition program administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). The program provides funding to help ensure that children in daycare, after-school programs, and similar settings — as well as adults in certain care facilities — receive healthy meals and snacks throughout the day.

The resolution is largely symbolic in nature, meaning it does not create new laws, spend money, or change any existing rules. Instead, it serves as an official acknowledgment from the U.S. Senate recognizing the importance of the CACFP program and the people who run it, including childcare providers, family daycare homes, after-school programs, and adult day care centers across the country.

The people most directly recognized by this resolution are the caregivers, program administrators, and nutrition workers who participate in CACFP on a daily basis, as well as the millions of children and adults who benefit from the meals the program supports. The Senate passed this resolution unanimously, meaning all senators present agreed to it without any debate or opposition, which is common for celebratory or honorary resolutions of this kind.
