SNAP Education

The goal of SNAP-Ed is to improve the likelihood that persons on SNAP or eligible for SNAP-Ed will make healthy food and lifestyle choices that prevent obesity.  SNAP-Ed fulfills this goal by working through UGA Extension to combine federal, state, and local resources to effect positive social change.
