Case for Support:
Support for Influence initiatives could open doors to complete the following projects:
Specific Projects to be Funded: 1. Expanding Boost the Roost: Our NAE Chicken for Schools Procurement Project. We’d like to expand project promotion to further influence a major shift in the marketplace. 2. School Meals as Healthcare: A new initiative, currently in development stage, to hire a dedicated USFA pediatrician consultant to encourage less processed meals and further educate the industry on how healthcare incorporates into school meal planning. 3. Production Kitchen Manual: We have plans to develop a Production Kitchen Manual to aid districts in their transition to, and training for implementing, production kitchens which can promote more scratch cooking opportunities in schools. 4. Procurement Training Expansion: Based on the success of the Team Up Procurement Trainings over the last two years, we plan to offer additional opportunities for districts of all sizes to attend throughout the country. Looking for Greatest Impact? Support General Operating Funding that will further our INFLUENCE initiatives. Unrestricted gifts give us the flexibility to respond quickly to emerging opportunities, apply our expertise, and influence school nutrition systems at scale — creating benefits that reach far beyond our 3.8 million students.
