EFNEP
is a federally funded nutrition education program conducted
through the Cooperative Extension Service in every state and
U.S. territory. This program began in 1969. For over 30 years
University of Idaho Extension has effectively conducted food and
nutrition education through the Expanded Food and Nutrition
Education Program (EFNEP). The program targets limited-income
families with young children. Education needs escalated
throughout the state, but funding levels enabled only two areas
in Idaho to provide EFNEP for limited-income families. Since
other communities and populations had similar needs, additional
program and funding partnerships through the Food Stamp programs
were sought. The ENP is modeled
after the EFNEP program, but serves geographic areas and
clientele not reached through EFNEP.
