Tribal Nations use CACFP to fight food insecurity

The Child and Adult Care Food Program is helping Tribal Nations combat food insecurity, which affects 1 in 4 Native Americans. The Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs have used CACFP for over 30 years, integrating traditional foods like Chinook salmon and huckleberries into meals for children. Leaders urge more tribes to participate, citing the program’s role in nutrition and cultural preservation.
