Take Action for the CACFP!

There are two bills in Congress that, if passed, would make positive changes to the CACFP!

Take action on the Early Childhood Nutrition Improvement act to allow providers to be reimbursed for an additional meal, as well as to decrease the paperwork burden! Send a letter to your representative today!

Take two actions on the Child Care Nutrition Enhancement Act to increase reimbursement and eliminate the tiering of family homes. Send a letter to your representative AND your senators!
