The U.S. Department of Agriculture will continue to gather information on federal child nutrition programs by holding listening sessions in Chicago on September 10 and in Denver on September 11. IDFA encourages all members to participate in one of these sessions or to submit testimony directly to USDA before the comment period ends on October 15. For more information and help preparing comments, contact Ruth Saunders, IDFA senior director of policy and legislative affairs, at rsaunders@idfa.org.
