BACKGROUND:

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Ed (SNAP-ED) funding is used to improve the health of low-income seniors through exercise and better nutrition education. Employment and Human Services designs and provides nutrition information programs. The SNAP-ED program provides year-long programs at low-income senior sites and nutrition information classes at senior centers and congregate meal sites throughout Contra Costa County. In addition, nutrition education materials are distributed to Contra Costa County seniors who receive Meals on Wheels food services.

The additional funds will be used to enhance program services.
