The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) and Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program (FSNEP) is for limited resource families including, but not limited to, WIC and Food Stamp clients.

The Nutrition Education Program (NEP) teaches nutrition, food safety and food resource management to limited resource families.

NEP staff teach program participants individually and in small groups. Funded by USDA, EFNEP has proven to be very effective since its beginning in 1969. The FSNEP Program is funded through the USDA Food Stamp Program. Additional funds are received from Lincoln Housing Authority and Early Head Start grants.

This program is funded in part by USDA's Food Stamp Program and EFNEP. The Food Stamp Program provides nutrition assistance to people with low income. It can help you buy nutritious foods for a better diet. To find out more, contact: 1-800-430-3244
