Nutrition During a Pandemic

Author: Laykin Smith

Planning Unit: KSU Administration

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Initial Outcome

SNAP-ED programming during 2021 continued to be virtually due to the pandemic. Classes were offered on Facebook for adults using the Healthy Choice Classes. When the in person classes were permitted to begin again, classes were resumed at the senior citizens center and Hazel Hills Recovery, but have not been completed as the senior citizens center closed back down with the increase of COVID-19 cases again. Due to mask mandate for Kentucky State University employees and poor adherence of wearing masks at Hazel Hills those classes are on hold again. While conducting classes at Hazel Hills 17 out of 17 adults improved diet quality in at least one area and 17 of 17 improved food safety practices. Virtual classes will continue until the COVID-19 mandates are lifted for the at risk population.
