New Jersey SNAP-Ed Region 2
It's hard to make healthy food choices on a limited budget, and it's hard to stay active.
SNAP-Ed Can Help.
SNAP-Ed is a federally funded grant program that teaches about good nutrition, how to make food dollars stretch further, and how to make physical activity a part of your day.
The Department of Family and Community Health Sciences (FCHS), a part of Rutgers Cooperative Extension, is pleased to be one of three partners offering nutrition and physical education as part of New Jersey's SNAP-Ed program.
As a SNAP-Ed partner, we work with community-based agencies and schools in Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Mercer counties to provide education aimed at reducing hunger and preventing obesity. We provide classes and programs that offer practical information on nutrition, cooking, food safety, and physical activity to address the needs of audiences at every stage of life.
