The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) operates in all 50 states and territories. It was funded by Congress in the early 1970's to help low income families acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and change behavior for nutritionally sound diets and to improve family members' diets and health.
The University of Arizona, with its land-grant mission, is dedicated to serving the community in a variety of ways. One of those ways is by promoting good health and nutrition throughout the state and beyond through health education, outreach and research.
