Nutrition Education Program

The Nutrition Education Program, based in East Chicago, IN, is dedicated to empowering individuals and families to enhance their nutrition through accessible education and resources. As part of Purdue University's initiative, we provide direct nutrition education to help community members make informed food choices and improve their overall health. Our Community Wellness Coordinators are actively engaged in promoting policy, system, and environment changes that foster wellness within the community. We strive to make a positive impact on dietary choices and health outcomes, ensuring that everyone has access to the knowledge they need for a healthier lifestyle.
