Take Action for the Additional Meal!

There are two exciting CACFP bills in congress right now! Thank you to the 5,000 of you who have taken action on the Child Care Nutrition Enhancement Act! Now we need you to take action on the Early Childhood Nutrition Improvement Act. This bipartisan legislation would allow full-day child and adult care programs to be reimbursed for an additional meal (3 meals and 1 snack).
