Mayor proclaims March 16'20, 2025 National Child and Adult Care Food Program Week
Summary
Mayor Dale Stanbrook Brooks proclaimed March 16'20, 2025 as National Child and Adult Care Food Program Week and recognized local Tri Valley Opportunity Council staff and program partners for supporting child nutrition.
Mayor Dale Stanbrook Brooks read and signed a proclamation declaring the week of March 16 through March 20, 2025, as National Child and Adult Care Food Program Week in Crookston.
The mayor cited the program's history and goals, saying the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP), since its inception in 1968, supports nutrition and healthy eating habits during critical developmental years. A staff member from Tri Valley Opportunity Council, who identified herself as a food services specialist, thanked the council and said the program "provides healthy, nutritious, meals for children," described nutrition as important for early brain development and said she had worked to secure proclamations and support for the week.
The mayor also noted he had a proclamation coming from the governor and urged citizens and agencies to observe the week and support nutrition programs for children and older adults. The proclamation was signed and the city seal affixed on the record.
No formal council action was required for the proclamation; it was presented as a ceremonial item early in the meeting.
