Outcome: Initial Outcome
The Mercer County SNAP NEP reached out to a Mercer County ESL teacher after doing a day camp with the students with English as their second language. She wanted to reach Hispanic families to see if they would be interested in doing a nutrition-based cooking class. The families agreed to meet at the Mercer County Extension Office where the NEP taught a lesson on planning meals by utilizing an interpreter. Everyone made a personal MyPlate pizza. The families were very happy to come. 100% of the attendees stated they liked the personal pizzas and would make them again at home with their families. NEP is hopeful this partnership will encourage further participation with the NEP and other Extension Programs,
