Clay County has a local Nutrition Education Program
The Purdue Extension Nutrition Education Program (NEP) improves nutrition and health in communities statewide. We work with limited-resource audiences in five areas:
| | Diet quality |
| | Physical activity |
| | Food resource management |
| | Food security |
| | Food safety |
NEPs mission is to empower SNAP-eligible audiences to make healthy lifestyle choices through education and engagement of individuals, families and communities in support of policy, systems and environmental change.
