The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program – plus the Educational Branch (SNAP-Ed) provide eligible groups assistance in developing and implementing strategies, programs, and policies to improve nutrition and increase physical activity. It can also provide practical, hands-on nutrition education to individuals receiving or eligible to receive Washington Basic Food (food stamps) and schools where 50% or more of students receive free or reduced lunches. This nutrition education program reaches youth and adults in Clallam County with information to help participants practice healthy eating habits and choose physically active lifestyles consistent with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and Food Guidance System (ChooseMyPlate.gov).
If you are an individual or organization interested in participating in or hosting a free nutrition class, please fill out the form at the bottom of this page.
WSU Clallam County Extension partners with regional farmers markets to expand awareness of critical food access programs such as SNAP Market Match, which increases SNAP shoppers’ buying power for fresh fruits, vegetables and mushrooms.
Is your organization interested in promotional materials, marketing assistance or more information on SNAP Match programs? Reach out to Danielle.carson@wsu.edu.
