| Impact Report | During the 2007-2008 FY the Agent worked with the ICAN Nutrition Educator to recruit participants to increase nutrition education in Lincoln County. The Agent provided support and supervision to one ICAN Nutrition Educator by conducting staff meetings, assisting staff with programs, and evaluations. Nutrition Education classes were presented to K-5 students, in collaboration with Lincoln County Head Start, Capitan Public Schools, Ruidoso Schools, Hondo Schools, Carrizozo Schools, and Corona Schools, Capitan Library summer program, White Mountain Elementary Summer Youth program, and two local Daycare facilities. The ICAN program in 2007-2008 graduated 448 youth which was a 50% increase over 2006-2007 FY. Evaluations show that throughout Lincoln County many participants implemented new food buying practices, resulting in healthier eating and increased nutrition, as well as making food dollars stretch and increase the value of food stamps. Classes on adult nutrition were taught at The Nest (domestic violence center), and in an effort to recruit adult participants posters, fliers and news letters were distributed to participants of the Income Support Division, WIC, Walk in the Woods, and health Fairs. |
