Key Messages

This year marks the 30th anniversary of SNAP Education (SNAP-Ed). SNAP-Ed is an evidence-based program administered by the USDA’s Food and Nutrition Service. Over the past 30 years, SNAP-Ed has educated participants on how to get the most out of their SNAP benefits, while also promoting a healthy diet and staying active.
The SNAP-Ed program continues to make a positive impact throughout the country by providing nutrition education. For example, adults participating in SNAP-Ed often eat more fruits and vegetables and engage in more vigorous physical activity. Meanwhile, SNAP-Ed efforts in schools teach children the importance of fitness and cardiovascular health.
SNAP-Ed is an important tool that provides Americans with nutrition education and nutrition security. SNAP-Ed partners expand the program’s reach among racial/ethnic minorities, lower income communities, and rural populations, including tribal communities. From community gardens to cooking classes, SNAP-Ed shares the importance of eating a healthy diet, in a hands-on, meaningful way.

"For 30 years, SNAP-Ed has been providing nutrition education to SNAP participants and promoting nutritious lifestyles. USDA is committed to strengthening SNAP-Ed so it can continue to advance nutrition security in communities across the nation."

--Stacy Dean, FNS Deputy Undersecretary
