What is the Kansas Extension Nutrition Program?
The Kansas Extension Nutrition Program has trained nutrition educators who deliver hands-on learning experiences for youth, adults and older adults about saving money at the grocery store, fixing quick and healthy recipes and simple ways to be more active. The Extension Nutrition Program helps communities implement strategies that improve community health and well-being.
This work is supported by the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP), from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
Shop
We believe everyone deserves access to healthy foods, no matter their financial situation. Shopping on a budget can be hard, but with a little planning, you can save both time and money while providing healthy meals for your family. The Extension Nutrition Program is here to help you get the most out of your grocery budget. In our community and online classes, we’ll show you how to save money while still enjoying healthy foods.
Eat
We know it can be overwhelming to navigate the world of health and nutrition. The Extension Nutrition Program can provide you with clear, research-backed information that you can trust—based on the dietary guidelines and MyPlate. We provide you with quick, nutritious recipes that your family will love and won't break the bank.
Move
No matter your age, your body needs movement. You don’t need to spend a lot of time or money—just find ways to move that you enjoy and do them throughout the day! Let the Extension Nutrition Program help, in classes our nutrition educators demonstrate small ways to fit physical activity into your already busy day!
Free Classes
Classes are free, practical, and hands-on nutrition and physical activity sessions provided by the USDA's Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) implemented by Kansas State University Extension to limited-resource adults and families to teach healthy eating habits, food budgeting, and cooking skills using evidence-based curriculum.
