Support SNAP-eligible individuals and families in gaining the knowledge and skills to shop, cook, and eat healthfully on a limited budget
Work on policy, systems, and environmental change (PSE) strategies to address food insecurity and increase access to healthy food environments
Mission
SNAP-Ed’s mission is to improve the likelihood that persons eligible for SNAP will make healthy food choices within a limited budget and choose physically active lifestyles consistent with the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans and ChooseMyPlate.gov.
