Partners for Children & Families is working with NC State University to bring an exciting NEW program to our licensed child care facilities! The Strengthening Food & Agriculture Value Chains in NC through Farm to Early Care & Education Collaborative grant will match local farmers with child care centers and homes in an effort to provide young children access to locally sourced fresh fruits and vegetables throughout the year. Funds will be available for all participating facilities that wish to purchase local produce. For more information about this project contact Leslie or Tammie at the PfCF office by calling 910-949-4045. To view the Farm to Early Care & Education Collaborative flyer, click here.
