What is the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP)?

The goal of the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) is to educate limited resource people with young children to acquire knowledge, improve skills and change behavior necessary for achieving health and well-being. It has effectively increased the families' ability to manage a limited food budget and select more nutritious diets.

What is the Food Stamp Nutrition Education (FSNE) Program?

The goal of Food Stamp Nutrition Education (FSNE) is to improve the likelihood that Food Stamp Program participants and applicants will make healthy choices within a limited budget and choose active lifestyles consistent with the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Food Guide Pyramid.

Breastfeeding is an important component in the development of these strong and healthy families. UK CES has partnered with the Shape the Future Steering Team to assist in increasing the incidence and duration of breastfeeding. Louise Moore, Program Development Coordinator and Nutrition Education Coordinator for EFNEP and FSNE, has been a steering team member and part of the Loving Support training from the beginning of the grant. Through this collaboration, all new paraprofessionals with EFNEP and FSNE are trained on breastfeeding basics.
