EFNEP & SNAP-ED
The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP-Ed) are federally funded programs with a trademark for quality. Conducted by the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service, EFNEP and SNAP-Ed paraprofessionals work with groups and individuals with children to select more nutritious diets and increase their ability to manage a food budget. These programs make a difference in the lives of Kentucky families.
