It’s an exciting time for child nutrition! 

There’s still time to apply for a USDA Breakfast Expansion Grant, and upcoming Louisiana and National School Nutrition Association conferences will give you a chance to see exciting new products designed specifically to adapt with your child nutrition program and your menu.


Serving line wells, merchandising shelves, and holding cabinets that can be run hot or cold are just a few of the game-changing innovations you can see in person at these upcoming events. 

Read on for locations, important dates, and registration information.


USDA Breakfast Grant Reminder

The USDA is still accepting applications for the Fiscal Year 2023 School Breakfast Expansion Grants to provide schools with funds to prepare nutritious, appealing breakfasts with more whole grains and less added sugar and sodium. These grants of up to $10,000 per qualifying school can also boost participation in school breakfast by helping make it available during the school day.

Applications are due July 24, 2023, and awards will be made later this year.
