Author: Stacy Smith

Planning Unit: Clinton County CES

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Initial Outcome

According to the annual Feeding American Map the Meal Gap study, 100% of Clinton Countians lived below the 200% poverty threshold in 2021.  To assist families, the Clinton County SNAP-ED paraprofessional taught 58 limited resource families how to serve more nutritious meals, to keep foods safe, and to utilize local food resources effectively utilizing the Healthy Choices for Everybody Curriculum through a series of 7 different educational lessons.  100% of families made an improvement in the nutritional quality of their diet.

 

72% of SNAP-ED graduate families consumed a diet of higher quality because they planned meals using USDA recommendations.  31% of families met the recommendation of moderate physical activity for at least 30 minutes per day.  65% of families demonstrated an improvement in safe food handling practices and hand washing behavior.

 

72% of families learned to plan meals ahead of time and use a grocery list to guide food selections.  A 77% improvement was shown in food price comparison behavior.  98% of participating families said they could now afford to eat properly using the tools learned through the Healthy Choices for Everybody curriculum.
