FISCAL IMPACT:

County to receive an amount not to exceed $34,975 (Agreement Number SP-1617-07). (100% Federal) (No County match)

BACKGROUND:

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Progam-Ed (SNAP-Ed) funding will be used to improve the health of low-income seniors through increased exercise information, program design and implementation, and by better nutrition understanding. Employment and Human Services will design and implement programs, such as the Nutrition Education Obesity Program and senior physical exercise. Programs will focus on healthy food choices, nutritional needs, food shopping practices, food security, and physical activity benefits. SNAP-ED will provide year-long weekly senior exercise programs and nutrition education classes at senior friendly and accessible locations throughout the County. Nutrition education materials will also be distributed to all Contra Costa County seniors who receive Meals on Wheels food services.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without funding, Employment and Human Service would no be able to provide Supplemental Nutrition Education and Prevention program(s) to Contra Costa County residents.
