EMAIL SUBJECT: National School Foods Study end of year survey

Dear [SFA NAME],

Thank you for participating in the 2024-2025 National School Foods Study, funded by the USDA Food and Nutrition Service. Our records show we still need you to complete the end of year survey about your SFA’s annual food sales and expenditures for the 2024-2025 school year.

Your response will help provide national estimates on the food purchases made by SFAs participating in the NSLP and SBP, to understand the composition of the school food market basket, purchasing practices, and relative costs. With better data comes better policy; we seek to collect data to fully understand the school food environment. Please click on the link below to access the survey and complete it.
