During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Knott County Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) Assistant contributed to the county in many ways.  Over 3,000 helpful handouts about the virus, handwashing, children’s activities, nutritional information and recipes were passed out at the local LKLP office.  

In addition, the SNAP-Ed assistant provided health information via the county’s Nutrition Education Program Facebook page to help establish clients and to interest new people.  The assistant provided informational videos on how to stay healthy during the pandemic along with other helpful videos.  The videos reached over 300 viewers.
