SNAP-Ed: A Family Affair
“The SNAP-Ed Program Assistant in Highland County, Leeanna, was surprised to hear from one of her Cooking Matters class participants how SNAP-Ed had recently impacted her family. When the mom brought her son to one of the Cooking Matters classes, he immediately recognized Leeanna as the lady who taught him about healthy foods at school.
Later in the series, the mom shared that her son’s father was telling her about the nutrition classes offered at his recovery site. He shared that a woman prepares a healthy recipe at each class that tastes good. He shared his plans to make some of these recipes with his son when he graduates from the program. After asking a few questions, the mom soon realized it was Leeanna teaching the classes at the recovery site and was excited to share how SNAP-Ed was reaching her family at three separate locations.”
