The Rural Child Poverty Nutrition Center wrapped up its final year in its grant cycle.  It was awarded 1.3 million dollars from the USDA Food and Nutrition Service and was able to carry out subgrants to 15 organizations working in persistently poor, rural communities in 12 states. The organizations were able to implement a great number of strategies into their county infrastructure to better address child hunger.  These strategies, along with the success – both captured qualitatively and quantitatively – were shared in a final face to face workshop attended by the grant sponsors.  Kristen Hyatt, the assistant deputy administrator for Child Nutrition Programs provided the opening remarks on behalf of FNS at the workshop. Afterward, she spoke with the RCPNC team and praised the accomplishments of the RCPNC.  A final report, qualitative report, two manuscripts, and a book chapter have been written to capture the process, the challenges, the successes, and recommendations for other professionals working in the areas of nutrition and anti-hunger initiatives.
