When COVID hit and all classes came to a halt and the unemployment rate jumped from 3.9% to 10.3% the Knott County Nutrition Education Program (NEP) Assistant started thinking of ways to reach the SNAP clientele who would normally attend in-person Healthy Choices for Everybody Classes.
Beginning in April 2020, various themed bags were assembled for families in Knott communities. A total of 5 different bags were made. The assistant fixed the bags and had families come to the office and pick one up. A total of 20 families received kits with Healthy Choices and Professor Popcorn information and recipes. One client sent a message stating that the kids loved doing the activity and getting to help in the kitchen with the fun recipe that was included.
