Providers Choice Blog

This year marks a truly special milestone - 40 years of partnering with dedicated child care providers through the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) to help children grow up healthy, nourished, and ready to thrive.

Since our start, our mission has been simple yet powerful: to support child care providers in serving nutritious meals and snacks that fuel growth, learning, and joy. Over the decades, we’ve been privileged to work alongside hundreds of providers throughout Minnesota who share our passion for building brighter futures.

As part of celebrating our anniversary, we are shining a spotlight on 16 incredible providers who have been with us since the beginning! Their commitment is an inspiring reminder of the lasting impact we can have when we work together to promote healthy eating for children in our communities.

In addition, we have had 203 providers with us for 30 to 40 years, 457 providers for 20 to 29 years, and 589 providers for 10 to 19 years. That is amazing! We are so happy to be supporting such wonderful people.

Whether you have been with Providers Choice for 40 years or 40 days, we are grateful to you! You make this work we do possible! We are dedicated to you and passionate about supporting children for 40 more years and beyond!
