Abt is a proud sponsor of the National Child Nutrition Conference, hosted by the National Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) Sponsor Association. We are excited to host dynamic conversations with childcare center professionals, school districts, afterschool programs, Food Banks, State Agencies, and others.  

Abt has worked with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition Services, for over 30 of the 60 years of operation and is proud to have supported initiatives such as the CACFP Emergency Shelters Study; evaluations of the Summer EBT Pilot Demonstrations; the Healthy Incentives Pilot (HIP) Impact Study; and many others.

We’re honored to partner with communities and the institutions that serve them.
