Montana School District Wellness Committee
“I live in Helena, Montana and have had the opportunity to work with SNAP-Ed through both a District Wellness Committee and the Kids Nutrition Coalition. Having SNAP Education at the qualifying schools in our community makes a true difference in kids learning about food, understanding where food comes from, and creating good eating habits that will last a lifetime. The SNAP Educator adds a lot of value to both of these groups as we collaborate to do better for our community while addressing both the hunger and health crisis that surrounds us. The fact is that good food leads to good health. SNAP-Ed is the leader for nutrition education in schools, which leads to improving healthy eating knowledge and behaviors. I would love to see SNAP-Ed in ALL schools as the program is so impactful and it’s not fair that only some schools get to have it.”
