The
Food Stamp Nutrition Education (FSNE) program is called the
Extension Nutrition Program and is administered through the University
of Idaho Extension. There are 27 counties that participate in this
program. It targets individuals who are either food stamp applicants or
recipients. The Extension Nutrition Program (ENP) is a University of Idaho
Extension education program that is designed to help limited resource
adults learn how to stretch their food dollars to provide tasty, low-cost,
healthy meals for their families. Research has found that when families
take charge of their diets and food budgets they frequently begin taking
control over other areas of their lives. ENP teaches nutrition and
consumer related skills that lead to individual change. Therefore, ENP
helps families in Idaho move toward increased self-sufficiency. It is
helpful for those who are transitioning from welfare to work.
