The Oconto/Marinette County UW-Extension Nutrition Education Program works with community, state and federal organizations designing and presenting nutrition education programs. We help low income elderly, families and youth learn to make food choices that are consistent with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the Food Guide Pyramid. We help them manage their food resources and use thrifty shopping practices to purchase nutritious foods, and we teach about safe food handling, preparation and storage practices.

Our educational efforts are targeted toward limited income audiences in Oconto and Marinette County. We are available to conduct educational programs which benefit these audiences, or offer an opportunity to promote an understanding, recognition and strengthening of the needs of the Food Stamp Eligible Population.
