Team Nutrition provides nutrition education, meal pattern training, and technical assistance resources for state agencies administering the USDA child nutrition programs. Competitive Team Nutrition Training Grants are also available to state child nutrition agencies to support innovative training and nutrition education activities. State agencies may request printed Team Nutrition materials using the Team Nutrition order form or, for large quantities, by emailing TeamNutrition@USDA.gov.

On Sept. 17, 2024, we announced the award of approximately $8.6 million in fiscal year 2024 Team Nutrition Grant funds to eleven state agencies that administer the National School Lunch Program. Meet the recipients.
