What is
Snap-ED?
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-ED) is a federally funded grant program that helps participants eat healthier and stay active.
We hope to give Georgians the tools where they live, work, play, learn, shop, and eat so that they can make the healthy choice, the preferred choice.
Nutrition Classes Start in July 2025
What is the SNAP-Ed Focus?
