Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP)

The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) in New Bedford, MA, is dedicated to empowering low-income families with young children and youth up to age 18 through practical, skill-based nutrition education. Our program offers engaging group sessions led by experienced educators from the community, where participants gain valuable knowledge about nutrition, food shopping, food safety, and healthy cooking. By incorporating hands-on activities such as cooking demonstrations, food tastings, and physical fitness exercises, we provide a supportive environment for families to learn together. EFNEP is committed to fostering lifelong healthy habits and improving food security in our community.
