About the Kentucky Nutrition Education Program (KYNEP)

The Kentucky Nutrition Education Program (KYNEP) encompass two separate USDA programs: The Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP), and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP-Ed). Both programs are administered by the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service, and target low income families and individuals with nutrition education.  The goals of both are to educate limited resource families with young children and SNAP eligible individuals to plan nutritious meals on a limited budget, acquire safe food handling practices, improve food preparation skills and change behavior necessary to have a healthy lifestyle.

Quilt Guild

- Breckinridge County Extension Community Building

The Guild's 1st community service project will be a color themed hospice lap quilt. Each member is asked to create a green 12 1/2 inch unfinished block with a light colored background. This is a great opportunity to use up scrap material and help create this community service quilt. Blocks can be turned in at the April meeting or dropped off at the Extension office prior to the meeting.
