Thanks to the great folks at Fresno Unified School District, we're able to share a few 'behind the scenes' photos from the recent visit with USDA Undersecretary Kevin Concannon. Read more about that visit here.

Jesus Mendoza and Jose Alvarado discuss the efforts Fresno Unified is making to provide healthy meals to all students thanks to the Community Eligibility provision (CEP). The CEP allows the district to feed all students for no-cost, regardless of income.

After spending the morning at Computech Middle School, Undersecretary Concannon was welcomed to the FUSD Nutrition Center.

The whole wheat rolls were a fan favorite! Undersecretary Concannon was excited to try one, and gave a thumbs up!

Thanks for taking a look behind the scenes! UC CalFresh enjoyed participating in the visit and are thrilled that the district can now feed all students, regardless of income.
