The Lawrence County Nutrition Education Program (NEP) Senior Assistant partnered with the Fallsburg Elementary School Family Resource Center to provide the Healthy Choices for Every Body nutrition program for parents and/or guardians of the children in the angel tree program. The participants engage in the classes for the children to receive food baskets and gifts for the Holidays. The seven required lessons were taught, recipes were sampled and kitchen reinforcements were provided during each lesson. The NEP Senior Assistant enrolled and graduated 7 parents.

As a result, participants showed improvement in food resource management, 86% budget enough money for food purchase, 71% plan meals before shopping and check for food items on sale. Participants also showed improvement in food safety practices, 86% use a meat thermometer more often and 71% thaw frozen food and room temperature less often.
