Ohio SNAP-Ed
SNAP-Ed is a free nutrition education program that serves low-income individuals throughout Ohio who are eligible to receive SNAP benefits or other means-tested federal assistance programs. Nationally, SNAP-Ed operates in all 50 states and two territories, targeting youth, adults, and families. Funded by USDA's Food and Nutrition Service, SNAP-Ed is implemented in partnership with the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services and Ohio State University Extension. The program's goal is to improve the likelihood that families and individuals receiving SNAP benefits will make healthy food choices and adopt active lifestyles.
In Muskingum County, one of our most popular initiatives is the ''Meals in a Mug'' or ''Cooking for One'' series. Have you ever cooked a meal, only to end up throwing away leftovers because it was too much for one person? What if there was an easy solution to enjoy your favorite home-cooked meals without wasting food? Cooking microwave meals in mugs is a fantastic way to quickly prepare delicious, nutritious meals in smaller portions, helping reduce waste while enjoying the meals you love. Join Muskingum County SNAP-Ed on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday each month for a mug-tastic time! RSVP with Allie (740)252-5446.
