Virtual Listening Session with USDA: Maximizing the Reach of WIC and Child Nutrition in California

Last week, we partnered with food access advocates across the state of California to discuss with Stacy Dean, Deputy Undersecretary at USDA/FNS, to discuss maximizing child nutrition programs in California - including CACFP!

The food program, and ways to strengthen it are on Stacy Dean's radar. She acknowledges that it is a critical component of the child nutrition programs and sees opportunities for growth, especially as we look to stabilize child care.

Watch the recording here. Tell us what you think and what you want USDA to know!
