The Family Nutrition Program’s (FNP) mission is to increase the ability of individuals and families with limited resources to use their food dollars and stamps appropriately and to provide a safe meal environment.  This is accomplished by providing free, informal, and easily accessible educational programs throughout the community.   These programs focus on developing knowledge and skills related to nutrition and meal planning, food purchasing, preparation, and safety, and resource management.  Family Nutrition Program participants are taught in group sessions by a nutrition program assistant.
