Extended Nutrition

Kansas Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP)

Kansas EFNEP, implemented by Kansas State Research and Extension and funded by USDA’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture, collaborates with communities across Kansas to enhance the health and well-being of youth, families, and pregnant individuals.

Building Thriving Communities Together

EFNEP’s holistic approach empowers Kansans with the tools, skills, and knowledge to make informed health choices that last a lifetime. Focusing on four essential areas—diet quality, food resource management, food safety, and food security—EFNEP supports community-driven goals through:

• Encouraging Self-Sufficiency and Nutritional Well-Being
  EFNEP helps Kansans develop the skills to meet their families' nutrition needs, promoting healthy choices that support wellness in the four core areas.
• Creating Supportive Environments for Health
  EFNEP works closely with local partners to transform food and physical environments, making health accessible and achievable for all Kansans.
• Building a Culture of Health
  By cultivating healthy habits, EFNEP fosters a culture where individuals, families, and communities are equipped to make informed health decisions.

Participants will learn how to:

• Buy healthy food on a budget.
• Plan nutritious and quick meals.
• Prepare and taste recipes your family will love.

We serve parents with young children and pregnant women who are eligible for:

• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
• WIC
• Head Start
• Children who receive free and reduced lunch
