NCNC22 Top Moments

We wish the entire CACFP community could have joined us at our 2022 National Child Nutrition Conference, but since that's not possible, we'll have to settle for reminiscing. There were a few big surprises, numerous old friends, and hundreds of very special a-ha! moments. We hope this list brings you a lot of joy, and if we're honest, a little FOMO.

Provider Appreciation Day
