Grab & Go Bags
Author: Anita Jones
Planning Unit: Carter County CES
Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The Carter County Nutrition Education Program (NEP) Assistant Senior dealt with a year unlike any other. Most years she is out in the community teaching lessons & doing programming. However, due to COVID, she still has places that have not re-opened, and does not know when they will. Therefore, she resulted to Grab & Go Bags to reach her audience. These bags included a lesson from the Healthy Choices for Everybody Curriculum that the NEP Assistant teaches from, information from the agents, a reinforcement item, and recipe cards. In the beginning the bags were weekly, then bi-weekly, and in the end monthly. Each time 25 bags were made each time. She partnered with the County Extension Agent for Ag & 4H to make adult & youth Grab & Go bags during the year to reach as many participants & youths as possible.
