Adult Nutrition Education Program

At the UC Cooperative Extension, we're teaching Californians how to make healthy meals at low-cost.

The University of California CalFresh Nutrition Education program provides evidence-based nutrition education to food stamp recipients and other low-income individuals and families in collaboration with local partners.

We act as a bridge between the learning and knowledge of the UC system and our community, tailoring the latest science, curriculum and information to the needs, culture and language of our low-income communities.

Our goal is to help these families, moms, youth and seniors make better nutrition decisions, maximize limited food budgets and plug-in to our county’s unique opportunities.

After completing the nutrition education class series, Eating Smart, Being Active participants we're given an opportunity to share success stories about what they had learned. What'd they report?
