EFNEP
The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) is a unique program that helps promote healthy eating, physical activity, and money saving food tips. We partner with community agencies to provide group lessons for families and young adults with low incomes. Our classes are interactive, centered around discussing practical application of nutrition information for participants’ unique needs and preferences, and setting goals. Each lesson includes a fun physical activity, and opportunity to create and sample a budget- and family-friendly healthy recipe!
