Eat Smart New York!
Eat Smart New York (ESNY) is a nutrition education program designed to help Food Stamp families. Friendly “Community Center” workshops are available for families who want to stretch their food stamp dollars, try new recipes, and create nutritious meal for their families.
Funding Source
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has provided a funding foundation for Seneca County Department of Human Services Temporary Assistance and Disabilities to collaborate with Cornell University's Cooperative Extension System to provide nutrition education for low income youth, seniors, and adults. Understanding the importance of individual and group dynamics, needs, and confidentiality, ESNY nutrition education programs are uniquely tailored by a pre-planning phase with an ESNY Extension Educator.
