The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP) in South Portland, ME, is dedicated to empowering income-eligible adults with children to make healthier food choices and improve their overall well-being. Offered through the University of Maine Cooperative Extension, this program provides free nutrition and health education services to those who qualify for programs like SNAP, WIC, or Head Start. Participants engage in hands-on learning, discovering how to cook nutritious recipes, select healthy foods, save money on groceries, ensure food safety, and increase physical activity. While the office is temporarily closed to protect community health, our educators are actively providing distance learning options, including one-on-one instruction and small group classes. As we anticipate the reopening of county offices in July, please stay tuned for updates as we continue to support our community’s nutritional needs and health.
