SNAP-ED Nutrition Education - Eat Smart New York

SNAP-ED Nutrition Education is called Eat Smart New York (ESNY) in New York State.  ESNY helps people with limited incomes learn how to eat better for less money.

Join us for a FREE one-time workshop or a few classes that will help you learn to fill your grocery cart and dinner table with healthy and inexpensive foods. Our nutrition educators will meet with you in a group at a community location to help you learn about cooking, meal planning, healthy food shopping on a budget, nutrition, food safety, weight control and physical activity, and much more.

You’ll learn:

• to prepare easy, good-tasting, low-cost meals in minutes.
• to spend less time at the grocery store and buy healthier food with your money and SNAP benefits.
• to make healthy meals and snacks that children will love
• to plan meals, prepare and store food safely, and use less salt, sugar, and fat when you cook.
• to read and understand food labels.
• to make healthy lifestyle changes part of every day.

Our ESNY classes are FREE and the only cost to you is your time. Our ESNY Program is funded by USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps) provides nutrition assistance to people with low-income. It can help you buy nutritious foods for a better diet.
