The Lawrence County Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP-Ed) assistant partnered with the Family Resource Center at Blaine Elementary School to provide the Healthy Choices for Every Body nutrition program for parents and/ or guardians of the children in the angel tree program. The participants engage in the classes in order for the children to receive gifts and food baskets for the Holidays.  The seven required lessons were taught and recipes from the NEP calendar were sampled and kitchen reinforcements were provided during each lesson. The SNAP-Ed assistant enrolled and graduated 7 parents and/ or guardians.
