About FNEP
Nutrition Education for Low-Income Missourians
The Family Nutrition Education Programs (FNEP) are an important part
of University of Missouri Extension, bringing the latest nutrition
information to low-income Missourians. FNEP helps consumers achieve
life long health and fitness. Paraprofessional nutrition educators
work with clients individually and in groups in their homes, in
schools, and at agencies. Clients gain skills that pave the way for
nutritional well-being and health. Programs include EFNEP, the
Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program and FNP, the Family
Nutrition Program.
Programs Tailored to Meet Consumers' Needs
FNEP provides programming that meets your consumers' needs
considering age, culture, reading level, and abilities. Lessons with
hands-on activities are designed for youth and the adults that
support them, pregnant teens, and immigrant populations.
Success Equals Skills
Program success means life long skills for clients. Often clients
tell us how FNEP has impacted their lives, even years after they
have participated.
