Success StoryGrab & Go Bags



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.
