4-H Youth Return to King County Extension
 

EFNEP
Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program

EFNEP helps people to help themselves. You'll find EFNEP wherever limited income families need help learning to make healthy, tasty meals, while stretching their food dollars. EFNEP's staff, known as Extension Education Assistants (EEAs), teach in agency settings, alternative schools, public schools, group homes, recovery centers and jails.

EFNEP teaches nutrition, cooking skills, food safety, and food budgeting to limited income families with children under 18 residing in urban areas. In King County, the program currently reaches approximately 600 families per year. The youth component of the program reaches over 2000 children in limited income neighborhoods by using interactive, hands-on activities in nutrition and food safety.

Each EFNEP participant receives a comprehensive workbook packed full of nutrition information, healthy-eating ideas and easy, low-cost, nutritious recipes. Groups usually choose to cover five or six of the eleven chapters. Expectant moms use a different workbook to address their special needs and help them learn how to feed their baby during the first years.
