EFNEP Nutrition Workshops
EFNEP assists participants to acquire knowledge and skills to change attitudes and behavior necessary to improve diet, health, and general wellbeing. FREE workshops are taught in English and Spanish to eligible groups and/or individuals virtually or at community sites throughout Nassau County.

Over 8 workshops, you will learn about:
- Making quick and healthy meals for your family
- Planning meals and saving money
- Smart food shopping
- Food safety
- How to read and understand a food label
- Enjoying physical activities

SUCCESS STORIES
EFNEP BUILDING RELATIONSHIP WITH HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS
Upon completion of our EFNEP workshops, participants leave with the knowledge and confidence to make real and lasting changings that impact their own health and the health of their families. One of Eugenia’s participants’ success was recognized by her physician, leading the physician to recognize the quality of EFNEP programming. The physician has since referred patients to participate in our CCE-NC EFNEP program series.
