The Edmonson County SNAP-Ed Assistant taught a group of four limited resource families an in person program called Cooking thru the Calendar. This program's focus was utilizing the Healthy Choices for Every Body curriculum as well as the 2020 KYNEP Calendar. With a focus on nutrition and hands on cooking. The four participants in the Cooking thru the Calendar group showed a 100 percent positive change in any food group. They also showed an 82 percent positive change in their diet quality from pre to post evaluations. Participants also showed an 81 percent positive change in their food safety practices, and a 94 percent change in food resource management practices.
