Which program aims to improve the nutritional status of low-income families through education?

The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) is designed specifically to improve the nutritional status of low-income families through education. This program offers hands-on experiences that teach families how to make healthier food choices and effectively manage their food budgets. By providing practical educational resources, EFNEP empowers participants to enhance their nutrition and cooking skills, ultimately leading to healthier eating habits.

WIC, while crucial for supporting women, infants, and children with nutrition education and food assistance, is specifically targeted toward that demographic rather than addressing the broader low-income family context. SNAP focuses on providing financial assistance for purchasing food but does not primarily concentrate on educational programs related to nutrition. The Commodity Supplemental Food Program (CSFP) provides food assistance to specific populations, but like SNAP, it lacks the educational component that EFNEP emphasizes.
