Staff from the UMass
Extension SNAP-ED Program in Raynham came to the Women,
Infants and Children (WIC) office at the HealthFirst
Family Care Center in Fall River on January 10, 2017 to videotape a
series of healthy and low-cost recipes that will be featured on a new
website that is designed to be accessed on smart phones. The crew showed
how to cook each of eight recipes while Steve Rys of Fall
River Community Media recorded each of the steps. The video will be
edited into brief shows that will be featured on a new web site. Throughout Southeast MA,
seven SNAP-ED nutrition educators
provide classroom education for children in elementary and middle schools in
Brockton, Randolph, Fall River, New Bedford and Taunton. In addition, this
same staff provides nutrition education programs to families and parents,
students in after school and summer school programs, and food demonstrations
at farmers' markets. |
