About Family Nutrition Program
FNP is funded by Midwest Region Food and Nutrition Service, United States Department of Agriculture. FNP is also known as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed). FNP is a partnership between the Ohio Department of Job & Family Services and Ohio State University Extension in an effort to improve the nutrition of families and individuals eligible for or receiving food assistance benefits (formerly food stamp program). 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 provides nutrition education to those receiving food assistance benefits through classes, public service announcements, food and nutrition demonstrations, newsletters, fact sheets, and individual consultations.
