Tell Your Congressperson to Support the Child and Adult Care Food Program

We understand that healthy food is more expensive than junk food. And, we know that you work hard to serve good meals and snacks. Recently, we were excited to share the good news about a Senate bill to improve the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), which helps child care providers to serve healthy meals and snacks by subsidizing meal costs and providing nutrition support.

Now, we need your help to get the House of Representatives on board. Rep. Paul Tonko just (D-NY) introduced the same bill in the House, H.R. 4402. This bill, the Access to Nutritious Meals for Young Children Act of 2009 will raise reimbursement rates, add a third meal, expand area eligibility/adjust tiering, and help support sponsors.

Now, we need your help to get more Representatives behind this important bill.

Please contact your Representative byclicking here to send a letter asking them to co-sponsor H.R. 4402 and help kids eat better meals in child care.
