Nutrition

Our goal is to teach food safety, healthy eating, and how to buy more healthy food with less money! Learn how to:

Make several meals from one piece of meat.
Prepare tasty healthy snacks for adults and children.
Make economical choices within each food group.

Our free Nutrition program has two major elements: one for low-income families and youth (EFNEP), and another for those eligible for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP)

EFNEP is for low-income families with young children and low-income youth. Our Nutrition Educators use research-based activities to help families make positive changes to improve their health. We provide culturally sensitive, hands-on workshops series to help families:

use their food dollars wisely
make healthier food choices
become more physically active

Eat Smart New York! (ESNY)

We provide nutrition and health workshop series to SNAP recipients and applicants who make food choices within limited budgets. We reach participants via partnerships with community organizations including emergency food assistance providers and food nutrition learning centers.
