The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program<\/strong> – plus the Educational Branch (SNAP-Ed)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Federal funding for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (also known as the National Education and Obesity Prevention Grant) ended on Sept. 30, 2025. As a result, Washington SNAP-Ed, along with many partners and community members, has worked to sunset the program across the state. This transition has created a significant deficit in capacity and resources for many community projects. In Washington State, SNAP-Ed was administered by the Department of Social and Health Services and implemented by Washington State University Extension, Washington State Department of Health, and over 60 local providers. It included classes, partnerships, social marketing, and promoting policy, systems, and environmental changes in local communities and statewide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Clallam County Extension Program provided eligible groups assistance in developing and implementing strategies, programs, and policies to improve nutrition and increase physical activity. It also provided 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 reached 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<\/a> and Food Guidance System (ChooseMyPlate.gov<\/a>). Some parts of the program are still being supported through grant funding.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
