The drug epidemic is strong here in Eastern Kentucky. Many of our people are battling addiction of some type. Through cooperation with Montgomery County Drug Court, SNAP-Education is providing nutrition classes to those ready for a lifestyle change. 

Making healthy choices when deciding what to eat or prepare for your family is another tool they can use in the battle against addiction. Participants came to class eager to learn new recipes that will nourish their bodies. Many participants tried foods they had never had before, and realized healthy eating was 'tastier than he thought.'  Upon completion of the class many participants felt they had adequate information about reading labels, budgeting, preparing meals and more. One particular participant requested copies of all of the recipes we have so that he would have even more tools in his 'toolbox.'
