Note About Cooking Matters Transition: Salesforce and Qualtrics will be accessible until September 30, 2024. During this period, users can collect surveys, enter information, and retrieve reports and historical data. Adding programs to Salesforce and generating a program code for each one is an integral step in accessing participant survey results. However, Share Our Strength no longer requires the use of Cooking Matters surveys or that organizations enter information in Salesforce as a means of reporting on activity.  


When using the electronic methods to record participant surveys, users may run into issues with the survey not proceeding to the next page. Follow these steps to verify what issue you may be facing.
