Help Us Celebrate 40 Years of Impact


To celebrate our 40th anniversary, we're collecting testimonials from members of the CACFP community. These stories showcase how NCA has strengthened the program that serves over 4.5 million daily.

Today, we have the NCA Board Immediate Past Chair, Denise Andrews, to share her thoughts on NCA's 40 years of advocacy, leadership and heart.

New for Members!

As part of our 40th anniversary celebration, we have developed a new universal CACFP logo that is inspired by our theme for February - Love Made Visible. This logo is available for NCA members to download and use on their own promotional materials, and can be found on our Program Support page or in the Info Hub. This is a universal logo for the CACFP, not an official USDA or NCA organizational logo.
