Welcome to NCSU's SNAP-Ed Program
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) formally known as Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program (FSNE) serves limited resource families across North Carolina. SNAP-Ed is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture-Food and Nutrition Service and works in collaboration with the NC Department of Health and Humans Services, Division of Social Services.
The goal of SNAP-Ed is to assist those eligible for food assistance to eat smart and move more. SNAP-Ed works to help participants make healthy choices within a limited budget and choose physically active lifestyles consistent with the current Dietary Guidelines for Americans and MyPyramid.
NC State University's SNAP-Ed Program is Steps to Health. Steps to Health works with preschoolers, kindergarteners, 2nd grade students, 3rd grade students, high school students and older adults at congregate nutrition sites.
The Steps to Health program is delivered by NC Cooperative Extension Agents in 57 counties across North Carolina.
Program Coordinator is Ellen Clevenger-Firley.
Partners include: NC Department of Social Services; NC Cooperative Extension; Eat Smart, Move More, North Carolina; NC Division of Aging and Adult Services, and local health departments, Head Start Programs, Schools, and congregate nutrition sites.
