The delivery of educational programs at the county level is done by the Family & Consumer Sciences (FCS) Educator and by an FNP Program Assistant. FNP targets food stamp program participants; disseminates educational information through public service announcements, basic food and nutrition demonstrations, newsletters, fact sheets, individual consultations, and group educational sessions with displays and videotapes; and uses curriculum materials selected for the audience's unique diversity.

FNP as a Part of the Family & Consumer Sciences Program

The Family Nutrition Program is an integral part of the Ohio State University Extension Family & Consumer Sciences program. FNP Program Assistants teach basic nutrition, food safety, meal management, thrifty shopping and food resource management information to food stamp recipients and to eligible nonparticipants. The success of FNP involves a partnership with local agencies/organizations whose outreach includes food stamp program participants and other low income audiences. Ohio State University Extension has the responsibility to provide additional educational experiences for the FNP audience. The use of FNP materials in other Extension programs can contribute to interaction and can serve as a bridge between Extension programs.
