Calling for CACFP Improvements in Child Nutrition Reauthorization
Calling for Additional Child Care Meal or Snack in CNR
Please join us in signing this letter (organizations only) by COB Friday, November 4 urging Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Ranking Member John Boozman (R-AR) to quickly negotiate a bipartisan Child Nutrition Reauthorization (CNR) bill that includes reimbursement for an additional meal or snack in the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). This support will help relieve the strain child care providers and working families are experiencing.
This improvement is essential to lessen the burdens of high food prices and financial strains on child care programs while improving nutrition for babies and young children. Because CACFP only reimburses for two meals and a snack, participating providers have to pay out of pocket for non-reimbursable meals and snacks. Those additional costs are too much for providers earning low wages and who may be food insecure themselves.
If you have any questions on substance, contact Geri Henchy at FRAC or Becky Levin at AFSCME, and Ellen Teller at FRAC on the legislative process and strategy.
Sincerely,
Ellen, Geri and Becky
