SNAP-Ed Nutrition Educator
SNAP-Ed is the nutrition component of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) formerly known as Food Stamps
Kansas SNAP-Ed supports low-income Kansans in making healthy choices easy choices through a dual focus on nutrition and physical activity education.
We partner with local and statewide organizations to improve policies, systems, and environments that support healthy behaviors.
Some of our partners include schools, food pantries, farmer’s markets, health departments, and local coalitions, just to name a few.
Here in the Wild West district we currently have 13 area community partners we work with, which include school districts, health departments, food pantries, libraries, and senior centers throughout the 3 counties. Also, included in these partnerships are the Kansas Department of Children & Families and the Liberal Area Coalition for Families.
