OSU Extension’s Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) will be providing programs on an “open site” model beginning in October 2015.
The “open class” model will be implemented across the state and provide our EFNEP staff with an opportunity to engage a new and wider audience. EFNEP will send out articles and calendars announcing the locations and times as they become available.
Every county is working with a facility to hold classes and will allow a wide audience to attend the classes.
EFNEP is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture and operates through Extension programs at land grant institutions in every state and in the six U.S. territories. In Ohio, EFNEP is administered by Ohio State University Extension. This program is intended for limited resource adults who care for children in their homes as well as limited-income youth. The program utilizes interactive discussions and activities to guide participants through a series of meetings aimed at improving the total family diet and nutritional well-being.
