Are you or someone you know interested in improving you and your family’s health, saving money at the store, and basic nutrition tips?
Our educators have the resources and skills to conduct EFNEP nutrition education classes in person or at a distance for both adults and youth audiences. EFNEP has materials and educators who can serve both English and Spanish audiences.
Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service is a flagship nutrition education program funded by USDA’s Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service. Since 1969, EFNEP has worked in local Texas communities providing food and nutrition education to limited-resource families and youth. Today the program is located in the following counties: Bexar, Cameron, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Bend, Harris, Hidalgo, Nueces, Tarrant, Travis, and Willacy. Trained EFNEP educators teach basic nutrition, food safety, shopping on a budget, and food preparation skills to clients using hands-on activities and practical, easy-to-understand materials.
