Sponsoring organizations and CACFP homes and centers will finally get financial relief in the new year once President Trump signs the economic aid bill passed by the House and Senate yesterday.

Your 150,000 letters sent to Congress through our network over the last ten months--together with the hard work of our board, friends, and allies--have been heard and finally realized into action.

We thank the members and staff of Congress for their constant stewardship of our community, for supporting us through the devastating economic impact of the pandemic, and for their commitment to ensuring access to food through the CACFP for over 5 million children and adults where many face food insecurity.

Although it will be 2021 before USDA and States are able to distribute these funds, we're hosting a COVID-19 Emergency Funding for CACFP Q&A Open House today and tomorrow to share the formula of the funding.

 

We wish you and your loved ones peace, joy and health during this holiday season! Our offices will be closed next week, but we'll be back to bring you news, tools, activities and training in the New Year. 

Serve your fruits and vegetables together with this lovely side dish or snack. Sweet potatoes, apples and cranberries are seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla for a nutritious recipe that feels like a holiday treat.
