| Impact Report | “Ideas for Cooking and Nutrition” Colfax County’s I CAN nutrition educator worked from October 2009 through mid-May 2010 with adult and youth audiences that met the limited resource guidelines for the program as outlined by the NM Human Services Department and the NMSU Extension I CAN Coordinator. In September of 2010, the nutrition educator officially resigned from her position, however before doing so, the NM Human Services Department communicated with the home economist in January and again in May of 2010 that the Colfax County ICAN educator was not meeting the needs of the SNAP-ED eligible population in the county and was showing very little productivity. As such, the Colfax County SNAP-ED funding was withdrawn by HSD for a six month period – May 14 through November 14, 2010. The total number of youth reached in 2010 was not available; however 593 youth were reached in 2009, followed by 274 youth in 2008; 425 in 2007; 1075 in 2006; and 652 in 2005. Actual youth graduates numbered 30 in fiscal year 2010 as compared to 116 in 2009; 143 in 2008; 152 in 2007; 167 in 2006; and 128 youth graduates in 2005. Colfax County’s youth graduate goal stands at 150 as was agreed upon by the nutrition educator and home economist in the 2010 Colfax County I CAN Action Plan. Adult I CAN nutrition classes were scheduled and promoted throughout the county this reporting year at the Raton Income Support Office (ISD), however class series resulted in very few, if any, attendees resulting in no (0) adult graduates in 2010. In comparison, 11 adults graduated in 2009, followed by12 in 2008; 9 in 2007; 19 in 2006 and 21 in 2005. With the completion of the 2010 Colfax County I CAN Action Plan, the goal for adult graduates was set at 50 adults. |
