Invite your elected official to visit your program. NOW is the perfect opportunity! 

During the entire month of August, every congressional representatives will be back in their home district. Don’t miss this opportunity to advocate for CACFP! Showcasing your program is one of the most impactful ways to advocate for the CACFP. Many elected officials may have never heard of the CACFP before, and therefore don’t know about the great work that thousands of providers and operators are doing everyday. 

Giving your elected official the opportunity to experience the CACFP firsthand will not only make them familiar with the program, but also allow them to interact with those who benefit the most from the CACFP – the children and/or adults in your care! Invite your elected officials to visit your site to interact with and serve meals/snacks to the children or adults in your care.
