The Village Square Apartment Complex provides housing to individuals and families with limited resources. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Education program assistant, for Garrard County, partnered with the apartments complex to conduct a series of seven weekly classes on nutrition, food safety and food resource management using the Healthy Choices curriculum. 5 residents ranging in age from 20 to 49 participated in the program, 5 households benefited from these classes.
At the end of the seven weeks, Diet Quality, Physical Activity and food Safety were the top three improvements for this group. One resident reported losing 7 pounds during the 7 weeks by applying the new cooking techniques and recipes, and cutting some fats and sugar from the family diet.
