Page About Family Nutrition Program
Ohio State University Extension's Family Nutrition Program (FNP) is funded by Midwest Region Food and Nutrition Service, United States Department of Agriculture. FNP is sometimes referred to as the Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program. FNP is a partnership between the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services and Ohio State University Extension in an effort to improve the nutrition of families and individuals who are food stamp program participants or eligible nonparticipants in non EFNEP counties and food stamp program participants or eligible nonparticipants who are elderly and/or adults without young children in EFNEP counties. FNP Program Assistants teach basic nutrition, food safety, meal management, thrifty shopping and food resource management information to food stamp recipients and to eligible nonparticipants. The success of FNP involves a partnership with local agencies/organizations whose outreach includes food stamp program participants and other low income audiences. Ohio State University Extension has the responsibility to provide additional educational experiences for the FNP audience.
