Last year Congress passed the landmark child nutrition reauthorization law known as the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act. Now it's up to the USDA along with state policymakers, community leaders, and parents to make sure it gets fully implemented so that students have access to healthier school foods.

What issues are emerging as the new legislation is implemented? And what can states and communities do to make sure the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act lives up to its potential?

Join us for a webinar on November 10 to learn more. We’ll talk about working effectively with your state Child Nutrition Program and reaching out to local partners like school boards, PTAs, and school health councils to get healthier food into schools.
