Reliable Food Sources

Author: Kati Noble

Planning Unit: Breathitt County CES

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

According to County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, 25% of the residents in Breathitt County, Kentucky, do not have a reliable food source. To address this in Breathitt County, the Nutrition Education Program Assistant Senior taught the Healthy Choices for Everybody curriculum at the local extension office.

Each month a different lesson was taught to participants that included Food Safety, Healthy Affordable Meals, Reading Labels, along with others. The program taught participants how to budget food money, create meal plans, grocery lists, and how to shop at stores that may not be grocery stores. Participants reported that they learned how to use the grocery budget calculator, preparing ahead of time, and how to properly use leftovers.

One participant stated, “I learned that I do not have to shop at only traditional grocery stores but other stores that are available in our community.” Another participant stated, “Shopping with a grocery list has been a gamechanger.”
