Retirement of Team Nutrition Network
This online database of contact information for Team Nutrition Schools and Team Nutrition Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Organizations, will be retired on June 30, 2023. The Team Nutrition initiative is continuing its important work in supporting the Child Nutrition Programs, and you will continue to have access to the main Team Nutrition Website and all of its popular Team Nutrition resources. They are simplifying how schools and CACFP organizations can stay connected to Team Nutrition and request printed resources.
The retirement of the online Team Nutrition Schools and CACFP Organizations Network will occur in two phases:
- Phase 1: Later in December 2022, Team Nutrition will stop collecting new and updated enrollments.
- Phase 2: By June 30, 2023, the Team Nutrition Schools and Team Nutrition CACFP Organizations websites will be retired, and the information will be unavailable online.
Current Team Nutrition Network members do not need to take any action. You will continue to be able to:
- Order printed copies of Team Nutrition’s materials, while supplies last, by visiting our main Team Nutrition Order Form: https://pueblo.gpo.gov/FNS/FNSPubs.php. Stickers, decals, and other items from the Team Nutrition Network Promotional Order Form have been moved to the main Team Nutrition Order Form.
