Nutritious meals do more than fill a plate; they support health, independence, and quality of life.

During CACFP Week, we're celebrating the providers, sponsors, and food service professionals who help bring healthy meals to children and adults in care settings every day.

Through the Child and Adult Care Food Program, organizations can serve balanced meals that support healthy development, well-being, and stronger communities.

Thank you to the dedicated teams who are stirring up goodness one meal at a time.
