- This site accepts resources from all organizations although the resource must be approved before it is shared again. If you have an outstanding recipe that you student body can’t get enough of or nutrition education that has made a difference in the students or even a management tool that has made your kitchen more efficient, take a moment and share it with ICN through this resource.
