SNAP Ed

Who are we?

SNAP-Ed stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education. SNAP-Ed is a statewide program that provides nutrition education and obesity prevention workshops to low income individuals and families all throughout the community. We can work with folks ages six and up!

We offer hands-on workshops to empower participants to shop, cook, and eat healthier, all while staying within their budget. Best of all, our classes are FREE. Classes meet across the community, in: food pantries, senior centers, after school sites or other community locations.
