SNF is awarding six school nutrition professionals equipment grants for their school meal programs.

SNA has named Frank Massabni, President and CEO of Cool Tropics, as the national Industry Member of the Year.

In celebration of School Lunch Hero Day (Friday, May 6), SNA recognizes the widespread efforts of school nutrition professionals across the country who ensure all students have access to healthy meals.

SNA is pleading for Congress to take immediate action to extend pandemic waivers for school meal programs, following news that the omnibus spending bill fails to include expected waiver extensions, which had widespread, bipartisan support.

Next week, schools across the country will recognize National School Breakfast Week (NSBW) with the “Take Off with School Breakfast” campaign

Nearly 700 school nutrition professionals will attend LAC and urge Congress to extend pandemic child nutrition waivers.

SNA praised USDA for recognizing tremendous challenges facing school meal programs in its release of transitional nutrition standards through SY 2023/24. SNA is urging Congress to provide additional support by authorizing child nutrition waiver extensions through SY 2022/23. 

As school meal programs nationwide face cancelled orders, shortages of foods and supplies, and labor challenges, the School Nutrition Foundation (SNF) and No Kid Hungry are teaming up to help school nutrition professionals manage persistent supply chain disruptions.  

SNA is calling on Congress to immediately extend pandemic child nutrition waivers through School Year (SY) 2022/23 and take steps to permanently support school meal programs severely impacted by supply chain, financial and regulatory challenges. 

SNA applauded USDA’s distribution of $1.5 billion in supply chain assistance funds for schools through USDA’s Commodity Credit Corporation (CCC).
