And while the season may be chilly, we’re already thinking about summer. Join us to learn about how you can join the Summer Food Service Program and ensure no child goes hungry this summer. Finally, we’ll close out the year with helping you set five resolutions for food program success in 2025, so you can confidently start the new year on the right track.
