CACFP Week Challenge Winner

Thank you to everyone who participated in our CACFP Week social media challenge! This year's winner with the most likes, comments and shares was Robin Berger on Instagram, who served up chickpea salad with whole grain-rich fennel seed foccacia. We'd also like to give honorable mention to Browns Childcare and Miss Roxy's Daycare on Facebook, who shared their #CACFPCreditable meals and snacks every day last week!
