APPENDIX M.1

Pre-Census Recruitment Email from State Child Nutrition Directors to SFAs

(EMAIL FROM STUDY TEAM To STATE CHILD NUTRITION DIRECTORS)

OMB Number: 0584-XXXX

Expiration Date: xx/xx/20xx

Dear (State CN Director’s Name):

Thank you for providing contact information for all public, charter, and private SFAs that participate in the National School Lunch Program in your State or territory. We will soon reach out to each of them, but we would greatly appreciate it if you would send the attached email to all SFAs in your State or territory to encourage them to complete the 2019 Census. If your office has its own system for sending bulletins or newsletters to all SFAs in your State, please feel free to send the attached email via that system instead of using our list. Abt will then send each SFA Director their personalized link to the 2019 Census.

If you have any questions, please contact the Abt project team from 9 am to 9 pm ET toll-free at 866-778-1316, or e-mail [email protected]. Thank you in advance for your support in maximizing participation in the 2019 Farm to School Census!

Sincerely,

Maria Boyle

Project Director
