myplate_blueFood $ense teaches youth and adults with limited incomes skills and behaviors to eat healthy and maximize the value of their food dollars and food assistance benefits. Food $ense partners with community agencies to reach eligible youth and adults. Food $ense complements food assistance programs by working directly with people to provide experiential education that builds skills needed to provide themselves and their families with nutritious, low-cost and safe food.

Since 1991, Food $ense programming has been available in north central Washington. Currently, Chelan, Douglas and Okanogan Counties have active projects.
