Wisconsin
Nutrition Education Program Partnerships
The
Situation:
Growing numbers of
Wisconsin individuals and families are facing economic challenges
and the problems of food insecurity. More people are living in
poverty, and increasing numbers are the working poor. They are
confronted with difficult choices in the areas of food and shelter
needs, credit obligations, and high medical bills.
Our
Goals:
We will
help low income elderly, families and youth:
- make food choices that are consistent with the Dietary Guidelines
for Americans and the Food Guide Pyramid
- manage their food resources and use thrifty shopping practices
for nutritious foods
- use safe food handling, preparation and storage practices
Partnering:
We collaborate with
community, state and federal organizations in the design and implementation
of nutrition education programs. We are currently planning our next fiscal year. We are excited about our new partnering opportunities to provide nutrition programs to more individuals in the community.
