The Healthy Choice Curriculum lessons range from, My Plate, Meal Planning, Keeping Foods Safe, Grains, Fruits, Eating Better on a Budget and so on. Here in Owsley County money is an ongoing issue with each and every family. Budget was the main focus for our program families. After the completion of each lesson, focus was turned to budget. The budgeting lesson included meal planning, couponing, shopping sales and using left over food items. 

At the end of the year from list of 64 families, 59 of those 64 families saved a total of $3,085.00
