Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The ARC

 

Persons in recovery need to know how to purchase healthy foods and feed themselves with home cooked meals instead of meals ready to eat.

The NEP in Garrard County worked together with the ARC, an outpatient recovery facility to provide nutrition classes for their clients. 

Through a 7-week program, the NEP was able to provide nutrition information, and each week we did a low-cost, low-calorie recipe. After the post evaluation there was a 100 % increase in the ability to both purchase and cook healthier diets for the clients and their families.
