It has been several years since there was an EFNEP paraprofessional in the Crittenden County Extension Office. During that time, she was conducting Community Christmas classes with Healthy Choices for Every Body where the current SNAP-Ed Assistant got her start with the program as a client of hers. A working wife and mother of three she needed help with Christmas. The EFNEP Assistant made arrangements to provide lessons after hours and on her lunch break so the client could complete the program. Her determination and compassion for her clients and her job changed the life of our new assistant. So, when the EFNEP Assistant retired, she knew she wanted that job. She wanted to be able to help low-income families like her however, it would be several years before she could do so. But here we are today, and proud to have a new SNAP-Ed Assistant in Crittenden County. With the program changing from EFNEP to SNAP-Ed there are more opportunities to work with adults, including seniors and the youth of Crittenden County. So, to follow in the EFNEP Assistants footsteps the SNAP-Ed Assistant has teamed up with Interagency of Crittenden County to get the word out and conduct new Community Christmas classes with the Healthy Choices for Every Body curriculum. Currently there are 10 clients on their way to earning their Healthy Choices for Every Body Certificate of Achievement. This program has helped the current SNAP-Ed Assistant make a full circle from client to assistant. It just goes to show you that the Nutrition Education Program can change people’s lives and for that we are thankful.
