Michigan State University (MSU) Extension partnered with Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) to provide Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed), a free nutrition education program to reduce hunger and food insecurity and promote healthy eating habits.
MSU Extension SNAP-Ed nutrition instructors taught youth, teens, adults and seniors how to make health a priority through an instructional series. The goal of the SNAP-Ed program was to increase the likelihood that those eligible for SNAP benefits would establish healthy eating habits and increase their time spent involved in physical activity, while staying within their limited food budget.
