Success StorySNAP Education



SNAP Education

Author: Clinton Hardy

Planning Unit: Daviess County CES

Major Program: Food Preparation and Preservation

Plan of Work: Healthy Lifestyles

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Food nutrition and education is a responsibility of all agents and opportunities to connect food production and preparation with youth are always rewarding.  Outdoor cooking is an art few youth routinely experience and why the West Kentucky 4H Camp provides an campers with the choice to participate in outdoor cooking activities. Youth gain appreciation for food prepared with fire, an increased awareness of agricultural productivity related to the menu ingredients and improved health through knowledge gained of how to prepare healthy food items.  This past summer, over three days, 40 snap eligible youth were instructed in how to use a knife safely, how initiate fire necessary to cook food, and how to prepare a breakfast, lunch and desert item.  Knowledge gained during the three days was revealed by observation of improved food preparation and safety in addition to a verbal question and answer each period.  Participants were asked to return answers related to the previous day menu.  All youth responded with yes when asked if they intended to return home and prepare demonstrated snap recipes with their families.
