The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) is a federally funded grant program. SNAP-Ed is evidence-based and helps people make their SNAP dollars stretch, teaches them how to cook healthy meals, and lead physically active lifestyles.
The goal of SNAP-Ed in Nevada is to improve the nutritional well-being of people who receive SNAP benefits and other Nevadans with a low income through community based education, programs and needs assessments.
We work with the Nevada Department of Health and Human Services to ensure that people who receive SNAP benefits learn how to best use them to purchase foods that will provide the most nutritious choices and the greatest value. Nationally and in Nevada, SNAP-Ed programs have proven to be worth the investment. In Nevada, SNAP-Ed funds help support several of our educational programs designed to teach good nutrition and the importance of exercise to Nevada families.
