Our World Today At NCA, we work to ensure that children and adults have access to food. The truth is, communities of color experience food insecurity more than others and that's just the beginning of disparities. It's incomprehensible that children have to grow up facing racism every day, at every age. As an organization, we implore our fellow Americans to look inward, commit to end this injustice, and have respect for all lives. We stand with those facing prejudice. We hold out hope that our communities will come together to heal, grow stronger, become more aware of social inequities, and be willing to talk about what each of our roles are to eradicate racism. |
Life in 3D: Play, Art, Nutrition The COVID pandemic makes planning for the near future a challenge financially. We want to be sure that come 2021 child care providers, centers, and afterschool teams have this nutrition calendar and all of the companion resources in hand. We are committed to keeping the price under $4 per site but we do need to place orders all at the same time with the printer to make that happen. We love Life in 3D. We think you will too and hope you will be able to offer these to your CACFP providers! |
