FY 2021 Team Nutrition Training Grants awarded

Recipients of FY 2017 Team Nutrition Training Grants. 

FNS awarded an additional almost $1.4 million in FY 2021 Team Nutrition Training Grants to six states. These grants will help schools offer meals supported by recipes that use local agricultural products and reflect local food preparation practices and taste preferences.

In Fiscal Year 2018, the Food and Nutrition Service awarded more than $3.7 million in Child and Adult Care Food Program Meal Service Training Grants to 38 state agencies.

To assist states and CACFP operators with implementation of the updated CACFP meal patterns, Congress appropriated funds for the provision of noncompetitive grants for states to provide hands-on training and technical assistance. These meal service training grants will assist state agencies in providing job skills training for CACFP operators on ways to plan and prepare and serve nutritious foods.
