Tune in Tomorrow - USDA Webinar on Proposed Rule

USDA has proposed revisions to Child Nutrition Programs' meal patterns. We're partnering with USDA and other organizations to host a webinar on March 1 at 2:30 pm Eastern to discuss how these changes would impact the CACFP and SFSP. After the webinar, we'll be hosting our own Q&A session for our NCA members and their feedback.
