How is CN Resource able to provide services at a lower cost than many State Agencies?
The primary reason has to do with the cyclical nature of the federal food programs themselves. For example, a State Agency may be very busy with CACFP reviews during the spring. When a state uses CN Resource they only pay when services are being provided. CN Resource may help a state in April, May and June complete 200 CACFP center visits and then we leave until the next fiscal year. You do not need to add any full-time positions to get the work done. Also, by getting help during the busy review season, State Agency staff are able to concentrate on other important tasks such as technical assistance, program outreach or professional development.
