Every community has public health challenges that may seem daunting for any one agency to address alone. That’s why we’re here. We think the healthy choice should be the easy choice, so we’ll work with you to help you meet your challenges. And, because we’re grant-funded, all our services are free.
Do you serve audiences where 50% or more are income eligible? If so, you’re more than likely eligible to partner with the Purdue Extension Nutrition Education Program (NEP). Our target audiences include SNAP recipients, individuals with limited resources (youth, seniors, singles, homeless, migrants, families, single parents), schools with 50% or more free and reduced lunch, and communities with high poverty rates.
