National Child & Adult Care Food Program Week Through March 20, 2021
Richmond, VA) – This week is National Child & Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Week through March 20, 2021. The goal of CACFP is to serve nutritious meals to children attending childcare homes and centers. CACFP also works to establish positive eating habits at the earliest stages of development, reduce future health care and education costs due to lack of proper early development and train and support local childcare personnel. Research indicates that the CACFP is one important factor in providing quality childcare.
During National CACFP Week, Virginia CACFP joins with family childcare providers, center staff, and afterschool programs, in acknowledging the many ways our community benefits from the CACFP. Since the inception of the CACFP in 1968, this program has granted children and adults excellent foundations and benefits, which is vital to Virginia’s long-term health.
