CNP team nutrition

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service awarded a $1,000,000 Project Grant under the Team Nutrition Grants program (CFDA 10.574) to the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE), doing business as Lacoe. This funding will support the implementation of the CNP TEAM NUTRITION initiative through September 2026. The Team Nutrition Grants program aims to improve children's lifelong healthy eating and physical activity habits through nutrition education initiatives aligned with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and USDA Food Guidance System. Under this award, LACOE will provide technical assistance, training, and educational resources for school nutrition professionals, students, and families to develop standardized recipes, promote USDA nutrition programs like the National School Lunch Program, and build state and local capacity to deliver effective nutrition education programming across Los Angeles County school districts.
