Programs Offered
Our adult nutrition education programs, the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) and the UC CalFresh Nutrition Education Program (formerly FSNEP), inspire and empower families and individuals to lead healthier lives by teaching them to eat well, stretch their food dollars, and handle food safely. The programs are federally funded by the USDA, and are administered by the University of California Cooperative Extension. Nutrition Educators are trained by the University of California to teach classes to low-income adults.

Success Stories

Tipton Elementary parents completed an eight week nutrition program and celebrated with a graduation ceremony. Expanded Food Nutrition Educator, Mariana Lopez, brought in her California State University Bakersfield cap and gown and took “promotion” photos.
“This is my first graduation picture,” gleamed a smiling Maria Ceja.
Ms. Lopez hopes to continue promoting many more parents and promote healthy lifestyle changes and her positive outlook throughout the Tulare County community. |

In October, 2011, the International Agri Center, Tulare, California hosted its first annual “Ag Fest!” UC Cooperative Extension CalFresh Nutrition Education and 4-H programs partnered with the Ag Center to create a fun family-centered event. People of all ages learned something new about how agriculture relates to our world locally and globally. The Tulare County 4-H program held a successful and tasty iron chef competition. The UC CalFresh Nutrition team held a Plate Puzzle Party exploring the new MyPlate symbol. Our goal is to help families solve the puzzle of healthy eating by simply choosing foods from each of the food groups and controlling portion size. The new MyPlate is an excellent visual tool as there are no “sometimes” foods evident in the table setting. Many of our Tulare City School families stopped by and created their own healthy plates. |
