Expanded Food & Nutrition Education Program

EFNEP is a nutrition education program for limited-income families with children as well as youth. The main goal of EFNEP is to help limited-income families and youth acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to change behavior for nutritional well-being.

EFNEP offers a series of hands-on cooking and nutrition classes for both adult and youth. Food tasting and dollar stretching ideas are included in all classes.

ADULT - Nutrition assistants teach a series of five cooking and nutrition classes to limited income adults with children in small groups. The classes are 1 ½ hours. Click on Adult at the left for more information.

YOUTH - Limited-income children ages 6 to 12 are taught nutrition and cooking skills at Title One Schools in Missoula County. Some after-school and summer programs also receive EFNEP youth nutrition programs. Click on Youth at the left for more information.
