Do you have an hour a week to learn new ideas to stretch your grocery dollars and make healthier choices for your family? Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Expanded Food and Nutrition Program (EFNEP) could work for you! Let’s talk about low-cost quick and healthy meals, and how to keep your family healthy and active. All you need is a reliable internet connection and an hour a week!
Morning and evening bi-monthly orientation workshops are available on a rolling schedule beginning January 2021. Classes will be taught by Marsha Sebro, Nutrition Educator of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County. The program offers a series of virtual, interactive lessons to resource-limited families and youth free of charge. We will engage in conversation and discussions that relate to the concerns of families at every session. Participants will meet once per week either in a group or one-on-one setting. Classes will be available through Zoom, phone, or face-to-face, when possible.
The Expanded Food and Nutrition Program (EFNEP) utilizes evidence-based resources and has been proven to help families with limited income make healthier nutrition and lifestyle choices. Topics include stretching food dollars, food safety, reducing salt and sugar intake, and making simple, healthy meals for the family. New recipes and ways to incorporate physical fitness into daily routines are included in every class.
Participants who graduate from the program receive a Certificate of Completion, an EFNEP Cookbook with delicious and affordable recipes along with kitchen tools to support healthy eating.

Classes will be taught by Marsha Sebro, Nutrition Educator of Cornell Cooperative Extension of Ulster County. Sebro has a background in promoting holistic health and wellness. She has worked with adults and youth seeking to make positive changes through challenging life transitions. She supports participants by helping them to set goals and build their decision-making skills. “I am excited to engage participants in conversations and address their concerns that relate to healthy eating and affording healthy food for their families,” says Sebro. “The nutritional awareness gained through our 6 and 8-week programs helps participants make small changes that can have long-term benefits.”
