Collaborative Nutrition Education in Nevada County: Piloting Innovative Programs

In the first year pilot program by Nevada County Department of Social Services, the focus is on nutrition education through collaboration with public health surveys, targeting SNAP-Ed population to emphasize healthy eating habits, and integrating cooking classes into welfare programs. This initiative involves promoting nutritional classes, engaging CalFresh representatives, coordinating messaging across various platforms, and distributing Farmers Market EBT card vouchers.
