Census Thank you Email

Dear [SFA Director]:

I am writing on behalf of the entire Farm to School Study Team to say a big THANK YOU for providing information on your SFA’s experience with farm to school procurement, activities, and policies, and for helping to make this study such a huge success! We have completed data collection for the 2019 Farm to School Census and wanted to acknowledge your contribution to the success of this national effort.

The data from the 2019 Farm to School Census will present evidence of the economic and nutritional impacts of farm to school activities among SFAs across the country. The final report, expected in [insert Month and Year], will comprehensively examine farm to school efforts and the evolution of 10 years of farm to school efforts!

When posted, the report will be available on this site https://farmtoschoolcensus.fns.usda.gov. Click here to see the public data set from the 2015 Census: https://farmtoschoolcensus.fns.usda.gov/data-explorer.

As always – if you have any questions about the study please contact the Abt project team toll-free at 866-778-1316 from 9 AM to 9 PM ET, or e-mail [email protected].

Thank you again for your help with this important study. We greatly appreciate your participation.

Sincerely,

Maria Boyle
