The Lawrence County Expanded Food Nutrition Assistant (EFNEP) partnered with the Job Readiness & Activity Instructor to offer the Healthy Choices for Everybody curriculum. The seven (7) required lessons were taught to four (4) participants including ten (10) total family members. With each lesson participants had a recipe sample and kitchen reinforcement item to compliment the lesson taught.

As a result, 100% of participants practiced food safety more often; washing hands before preparing food, cleaning items/surfaces after contact with raw meat, thaw frozen food correctly, and use a meat thermometer. 100% of participants improved diet quality by eating red and orange vegetables more often each week, and started exercising more often while making small changes to be more active. Also, 100% improved on food resource management by planning meals, checking cupboards and making a grocery list before shopping.
