NCA Endorses the Child Nutrition Enhancement Act

Today, the Child Nutrition Enhancement Act was introduced in the House of Representatives by Congressman Greg Landsman and Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici to permanently: 

• Provide an additional 10 cent reimbursement for each meal and snack served in the CACFP 
• Eliminate the tiering of family day care homes 
• Allow family day care home providers to claim their own children’s meals for reimbursement 

NCA, along with 42 other national organizations, is happy to endorse this historic bill! Take action now - urge your representative to cosponsor the bill to ensure that CACFP operators can continue to provide nutritious meals and snacks to those in their care.
