What is the Family Nutrition Program?
Classes teach participants about nutrition, meal planning, food shopping and food safety. The target audiences for the program are adults with limited resources. The Family Nutrition Program is sponsored by a grant of the Midwest Region Food and Consumer Service, United States Department of Agruculture.

FNP provides programs covering nutrition, food shooping and budgeting, meal management, and food safety through public service announcements, basic food and nutrition demonstrations, newsletters, fact sheets, consultations, and group educational sessions with displays and videotapes.
