EFNEP Stretches Food Pantry Dollars
Author: Detra Coley
Planning Unit: Livingston County CES
Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The Livingston County Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program Assistant has been welcomed into the county food pantry as a local asset. The Expanded Nutrition and Education Program Assistant provides educational material, which in turn helps the clientele in making healthier food choices. All of the EFNEP Assistants clientele are also clients of the food pantry. In the past year, over half of the EFNEP clients have shown an improvement in Food Resource Management. This has reduced their reliance on the food pantry, which means they do not come as often as they once did. Also, a little over 90% of that group has shown an improvement in their eating habits. This was accomplished by giving them healthy recipes for the food distributed by the food pantry.
