Feed your family better food for less money!
EFNEP helps adult participants learn skills and strategies to feed their family nutritious meals on a limited budget and improve their overall health. The skills learned also help families learn how to change behaviors that place them at risk for overweight and the diseases associated with being overweight like heart disease and diabetes.
Participants learn to:
- Save money at the grocery store
- Eat more meals at home
- Prepare healthy and tasty meals for their families
- Control portion sizes
- Adopt life-long healthy habits
- Keep food safe, reduce food waste, and decrease food-borne illness
- Use leftovers
- Increase daily physical activity
- Move more and watch less
- Replace sugary beverages with healthy options
