During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Clark County Nutrition Education Program (NEP) Assistant invented new and challenging ways to provide programing to families. After much planning, a four-week series Healthy Choices for Every Body featuring “Tips and Tricks to Healthy Eating in 2021” were taught virtually over Zoom. Recipes from our 2021 NEP Calendar were chosen to enhance the participation. Curriculum lesson materials were posted via the county FCS Facebook Page, local housing units, food pantry, community center, homeless shelter, and feeding sites. Zoom flyers, lesson materials, calendars, Wally Cat handouts were posted with activities for the youth, hand washing, virus handouts, and making and giving out masks to the community, adult and youth were made to help with the Masking up KY. This information reached, 370 views on Facebook, 40 mailings, 200 residents at housing units picked up handouts and flyers for Zoom Classes.
