Program Description

EFNEP

For over 30 years, EFNEP's goal has been to help limited resource audiences in acquiring the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and changed behavior necessary for nutritionally sound diets and contribute to their personal development and improvement of the total family diet and nutritional well-being. EFNEP classes include curriculum for both adult and youth. Through EFNEP, participants learn self-worth, that they have something to offer their families and society.

FSNE

Montana's Food Stamp Nutrition Education (FSNE) offers educational assistance to Food Stamp participants and those applying for food stamps. FSNE consists of families with children, seniors, singles, individuals with developmental disabilities, and youth.

The goal of FSNE is to provide educational programming that will increase, within a limited budget, the likelihood that all food stamp recipients are making healthy food choices and choosing active lifestyles consistent with the most recent advice reflected in the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.

FSNE includes behaviorally focused, science-based nutrition education interventions. The focus of FSNE is health promotion, and primary prevention of diseases.

Four core elements further outline the topical areas of FSNE: Dietary Quality, Management/Shopping Behaviors, Food Security , and Food Safety.
