Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP)

The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) in Methuen, MA, is dedicated to empowering low-income families with young children and youth up to age 18 through practical, hands-on nutrition education. Our program offers a welcoming environment where participants engage in small group sessions led by trained EFNEP educators from the community. Families learn essential skills in nutrition, food shopping, and food safety, complemented by cooking demonstrations, food tastings, and enjoyable physical activities. EFNEP aims to foster healthier lifestyles by teaching participants about making informed food choices and incorporating fitness into their daily routines, ensuring that community members are supported in their journey toward better health and nutrition.
