How are Meigs County programs delivered?

The delivery of FNP educational programs at the county level is done 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, individual consultations, and group educational sessions with displays and videotapes; and uses curriculum materials selected for the audience's unique diversity.
