During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Breathitt County Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) Assistant contributed to the county in many ways. Over 7,900 handouts about handwashing, children’s activities, food safety, COVID-19, recipe cards, and nutrition information were distributed out at school’s backpack programs, food distribution centers, Head Start, and other various locations throughout Breathitt County. In addition, the SNAP-Ed Assistant provided nutrition information via the county’s Nutrition Education Facebook page to help establish clients and reach new audiences throughout the community. The page would reach over 1,000 individuals each month and had several individual posts reach over 500 individuals.
