Non-Congregate 101: The Building Blocks To Successful And Sustainable Rural Summer Meals<https://nokidhungry.us13.list-manage.com/track/click?u=283504c3b3add96827a4ae4b9&id=a62a9d7aa0&e=4bdeb6c050> Date/Time: Wednesday, February 18th at 3 PM ET This session will provide an introduction to the rural non‑congregate (RNC) summer feeding model and how it expands meal access across geographically dispersed communities. A panel of experts—a former school nutrition director, a community‑based sponsor, and a state agency staff member—will explain how RNC works, offer practical budgeting approaches for long‑term sustainability, and share outreach, training, and menu strategies that boost participation. You will also receive a tutorial on our new streamlined summer meals financial calculator to make RNC budgeting easier and more actionable. This session was offered at our Summer Nutrition Summit in January, and we’re excited to offer it again as part of our webinar series to reach those of you who weren’t able to join us there in person!
