HOW ARE PROGRAMS DELIVERED?

The delivery of educational programs at the county level is done by the Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) Educator and by a FNP Program Assistant. FNP targets food stamp program participants; disseminates educational information through public service announcements, basic food and nutrition demonstrations, newsletters, fact sheets, and group educational sessions with displays, handouts, hands-on demonstrations, using curriculum materials selected for the audience's unique diversity.
