About SNA
The School Nutrition Association (SNA) is the only national association devoted exclusively to protecting and enhancing children's health and wellbeing by providing healthy school meals and sound nutrition education.
SNA represents more than 55,000 school nutrition professionals who provide high-quality, low cost meals to students across the country. SNA has 52 State affiliates and hundreds of local chapters.
The Association works to ensure all children have access to healthful school meals and nutrition education by:
- Providing members with education and training
- Setting professional standards through certification and credentialing
- Gathering and transmitting regulatory, legislative, industry, nutritional and other types of information related to school nutrition
- Representing the nutritional interests of all children
Recognized as the authority on school nutrition, SNA has been advancing the availability, quality and acceptance of school nutrition programs as an integral part of education since 1946.
In 1964, SNA established a sister organization called the School Nutrition Foundation (SNF) formerly the Child Nutrition Foundation, which plays a critical role by raising money for professional development and outreach programs, as well as providing members with tuition assistance opportunities.
