Office OSU Home Page Disclaimer Clackamas County Extension 200 Warner-Milne Rd. Innovative Extension partnerships with local schools and social service agencies enable us to obtain extra funding from the Federal Food Stamp Nutrition Education Program. Each county designs its program to meet local needs and available resources. Educational programs must target families and individuals eligible for food stamps. The need for nutrition education is great and the long-term benefits of a healthy diet are well known.
Breakfast has an important impact on children's ability to learn at school.
Help build skills in young parents. An approach that focuses on feeding children can positively affect the eating behavior of both parents and children. Reach out to youth and adults with limited English skills who may be unable to take advantage of unfamiliar vegetables, nutrition labels, or grocery discounts. The new funding allows us to hire new staff and buy much-needed teaching resources. Other important programs falling under our FCD umbrella reach out to broader audiences.
