Our
Mission
 Nutrition education classes are provided for
Alabamians with limited resources to empower people to make better
nutrition choices and health decisions. Research studies reveal
families receiving nutrition and health education through EFNEP
programs exhibits healthier children, positive youth development,
and better food management skills. In addition, families were
healthier and spent less money on junk food and healthcare.
The geographic area to be served with
the UEFNEP funds allocated to AAMU will include limited-resource
Hispanic mothers of young children and youth in communities located
in Marshall (12.2%), Morgan (6.6%), Limestone (4.6%), and Madison
(3.2%) counties. These counties are located in the Huntsville
and Decatur, two Metropolitan Statistical Areas served by Extension's
Urban Affairs Unit.
Goals
of UNEP
- Improve the
nutritional quality of the foods consumed by the target audiences.
- Increase standard
practices in food storage, preparation, safety and sanitation.
- Promote the
ability to manage food budgets and related resources such as
food stamps.
