[Cacfp] CACFP Week Starts Today – Let’s Fuel Maine’s Future!

[Mank, Alissa M]

Good Morning CACFP Providers and Sponsors,

Today, we kick off National CACFP Week by celebrating how CACFP helps fuel Maine’s future!

Every meal and snack served through CACFP supports healthy growth, learning, and wellness for children and older adults in care settings.

Thanks to the dedication of CACFP providers across Maine, more than 4 million healthy meals and snacks were served in 2025. Together, CACFP daycare homes and center sites provided:
• 1,201,550 breakfasts
• 1,181,632 lunches
• 1,468,979 snacks
• 291,139 dinners

Each of these meals helps fuel healthy growth, learning, and strong communities across Maine — truly Fueling Maine’s Future.

Ways to celebrate today:

• Talk with children about how healthy foods help our bodies grow strong
• Point out the different food groups on today’s meal or snack
• Let children help identify the fruits, vegetables, grains, or proteins on their plate
• Discuss how nutritious meals help give us energy to learn and play
Thank you for the important work you do every day to support healthy futures.

— Maine CACFP Team
