Our Goals for our Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program are...
#1... DIETARY QUALITY...To assist food stamp households to adopt healthy eating and active lifestyles that are consistent with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Food Pyramid.
#2... FOOD SECURITY...Insure that food stamp households have enough to eat without resorting to emergency food assistance and making sure people eligible for the FSP but not participating are made aware of its benefits and how to apply for them as part of nutrition education activity.
#3... FOOD SAFETY..."Improve food stamp households safe handling, preparation and storage of food.
#4... SHOPPING BEHAVIOR/ FOOD RESOURCE MANAGEMENT... Enhance practices related to thrifty shopping and preparation of nutritious foods by food stamp households.
