SNAP-Ed UNC

SNAP-Ed provides funding to states to conduct nutrition promotion and obesity prevention work to individuals and families that receive SNAP (food stamp) benefits. FIG and UNC-Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (HPDP) partnered to provide a program that engages SNAP recipients in empowering discussions of how best to use SNAP dollars, followed by an exercise using pre-formatted shopping lists to try and increase purchase of fruits and vegetables/decrease purchase of sugary beverages among SNAP users in mostly rural North Carolina.
