Each year WIC announces the Loving Support Award of Excellence program, formerly known as the Loving Support Award of Excellence.

The Farm to School team has cultivated resources, trainings, and technical assistance to help your program grow.  

​The Turnip the Beet Award recognizes outstanding summer meal program sponsors across the nation who work hard to offer high quality meals to children that are appetizing, appealing, and nutritious during the summer months.

FNS strongly recommends that all states develop a SNAP outreach plan. In addition to increasing enrollment among eligible non-participating households, SNAP outreach can help reduce churn by encouraging existing SNAP households to recertify.
