Management at the Adult Education Center saw a need for nutrition lessons and invited Snap-Ed Assistant to come teach nutrition programs to her clientele, according to pre evaluation questionnaire, 4 out of 5 SNAP recipients attending the Adult Education Center run out of food before the end of the month and do not have the money to purchase more. SNAP-Ed Assistant taught nutrition lessons at the Adult Education Center where spending money on a budget, meal planning and shopping with a grocery list was emphasized.  After 12 lessons a post evaluation of the same questions as the pre-test showed that 100% of participants now plan meals ahead of time, shop with a grocery list and do not run out of food before the end of the month.
