Day of Hope
Author: Karen Grant
Planning Unit: Madison County CES
Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
On the Saturday before Thanksgiving five hundred needy families are invited to Day of Hope. These families are given a complete holiday meal box. The Madison County Cooperative Extension Service EFNEP assistant participates by giving information on safe thawing and cooking of frozen turkeys along with recipes for using leftovers.
Families also learn by viewing examples of A1C levels, cholesterol in the veins and amount of sugar in sodas. As a result families clean up their diets as to not be plagued with their grandparent’s health problems.
