SNAP-Ed and Empower Youth Christmas Wonderland

Santa’s helpers from the OSU Extension SNAP-Ed office, showed up to play last weekend at the Empower Youth Christmas Wonderland!

On Saturday, December 15, hundreds of kids and their families attended the Christmas Wonderland where they enjoyed games, crafts, sweet treats, Frosty the Snowman and a visit with Santa.  Empower Youth is a non-profit organization that serves the children and youth of our community.

At the event, SNAP-Ed, had the opportunity to serve approximately 400 children and youth of our community.  We handed out “Baked Apple for One” recipe cards, from Celebrate Your Plate, along with mugs and all the ingredients to make this special treat!  We were also able to demonstrate how easy the recipe is to make and how tasty it is!

The excitement and smiles were contagious, as it reminded us of the positive impact we can make on our community.  Our office looks forward to working with Empower Youth again soon!
