EFNEP: Taking Charge of Health, One Lesson, One Meal, and One Family at a Time
The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) in Oregon is active in four of Oregon’s 36 counties. OSU Extension EFNEP educators work in communities and offer programs for adults and youth about healthy eating, physical activity, stretching food dollars, and handling food safely.
EFNEP is a federal nutrition education program funded through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and administered through the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). EFNEP improves the health and well-being of limited-resource families and youth. Program participants acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes, and changed behaviors that support healthy eating and active lifestyles consistent with the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
