[Cacfp] National CACFP Week

[Mank, Alissa M]

Hello Nutrition Champions!

National CACFP Week is coming up-March 17-21, 2026! This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the healthy meals and snacks you provide every day, as well as the positive impact your programs have on children and adults in your care.

Throughout the week, Maine CACFP will feature themed activities:

* Monday - Fueling Maine's Future: Highlighting how balanced meals and snacks support growth, learning, and wellness.
* Tuesday - Color Your Plate Day: Encouraging programs to serve a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables.
* Wednesday - Literacy & Lunch: Promoting the connection between healthy meals and learning through story time.
* Thursday - Thank a Provider Day: Recognizing the dedication of childcare and adult care providers.
* Friday - Farm to CACFP: Celebrating the connection between local agriculture and the healthy foods served in CACFP programs.

Note: Friday's theme has been updated since the monthly update went out. This year, we're highlighting Farm to CACFP to focus on local foods and farm-to-table connections in the meals you serve.

See the attached promotional image for a visual guide to the daily themes.

Thank you for all you do to make CACFP a success. Let's make National CACFP Week a week full of celebration, creativity, and healthy meals!

-The Maine CACFP Team
