We pride ourselves on the personal
attention and service our Field
Representatives provide you. You
may have gotten to know your Field
Representative well but maybe you didn’t know:
• What they like most about their jobs are the interactions
with providers during home visits, delivering Food
Program Workshops, and the feeling that they are
making a positive difference in the lives of young
children.
• Our Field Representatives understand where you are
coming from because the majority of them have been
child care providers themselves.
• Currently, we employ 23 Field Representatives that
service the entire state of Minnesota.

“
One of my favorite
parts of my job is
delivering Food
Program workshops
because I get
to interact with
providers on a
different level.
committing to doing them at home.
THANK YOU for sharing
your evenings with us. We enjoy
bringing these Food Program
Workshops to your communities and
we hope you enjoy attending.

Did you miss this year’s workshop,
“What would Batman Eat?”
All providers and co-providers must complete
required CACFP training by September 30, 2014.
You can still complete an online or home study
version by contacting your field representative.
Failure to complete training could result in a
declaration of serious deficiency.
