Planning Unit: Hancock County CES

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

The Hancock County Cooperative Extension Expanded Food Nutritional Assistant (EFNEP) partnered with Hope House.  Hope House is a rehab, live in facility for women.  The ladies took their entry survey and only 40% compared food prices.

As the group went through the lessons and discussed all the ways to budget better, the ladies started to learn better ways of saving money.  As a whole we discussed making a list, clipping coupons, checking all the cabinets before shopping.  There were many money saving tips that were brought up.  Lots of way to stretch your money when it came to shopping.

In the end, the ladies felt much more comfortable about ways to compared food prices. At the exit survey 100% met the recommendations for comparing food prices.
