The food we eat fuels our bodies and minds. Our program promotes healthy eating habits by educating people on the benefits of balanced diets and local foods. We partner with schools, health organizations, and community groups to encourage nutritious choices.

Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP)

Many Nevadans suffer from heart problems, are obese or have diabetes. In Nevada, the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program is administered by University of Nevada, Reno to engage adults and youth to boost nutrition through building basic skills. Participants learn how to read food labels, save money on groceries, plan meals, safely handle food, make healthy food choices, and be more active.
