Cooking on Stove

The University of Georgia Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (UGA SNAP-Ed)

"We empower Georgians to stay healthy by making healthier food choices, shopping smarter, moving more, and cooking delicious meals on a budget."

What is SNAP-Ed

SNAP-Ed (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education) is the nutrition promotion and obesity prevention component of SNAP. The goal of SNAP-Ed is to improve the likelihood that persons SNAP-eligible Georgians will make healthy food and lifestyle choices that prevent obesity.

How SNAP-Ed Works

The UGA SNAP-Ed program offers in-person (called Food Talk) food demonstrations and online classes (called Food eTalk). We also provide nutrition information and healthy recipes via our website and Food eTalk social media pages. Importantly, we work to improve policies, systems, and environments that support healthy families across Georgia with diverse partners and communities.

The University of Georgia SNAP-Ed program provides these resources through the University of Georgia College of Family & Consumer Sciences & UGA Extension.
