The Franklin County Women and Family Shelter houses individuals and families who experience homelessness. Addiction, a major health event, or terminating an unhealthy relationship are among the reasons that individuals seek refuge here. During transition, one may be without income and it can take months to receive benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Subsiding on donations and soup kitchen meals only, the SNAP-Ed program found accessible recipes to pair with nutrition lessons and cooking skill sessions for a seven week series. After completing the program, 80% of participants developed one or more nutrition practice. Seventy five percent more often planned meals in advance and half ran out of food less often. An astounding 60% more often prepared foods without adding salt and half started using the nutrition facts labels to make healthier choices. One participant said, “Ever since my stroke, I just do everything slow. I am relearning everything, and this class has taught me how to eat well on my budget. I have been saving the [kitchen tools] you gave me for when I get my own apartment.” Another shared, “I didn’t know what was in my food until you came. Now I eat less sugar.” The SNAP-Ed program encourages diverse health behaviors that cater to diverse knowledge about what it means to be and eat well!
