| Impact Report | The ICAN program in Roosevelt County utilizes one Nutrition Educator to provide a multitude of hands-on learning experiences in the areas of nutrition, food preparation, food safety and food budgeting by providing programming to limited resource residents. The home economist provides training and advice to the educator as she sees a need. In our county 7 adult graduates and 201 youth graduates were obtained. These graduates attended the proper number of classes required for graduation from the program. During these classes they learned about My Pyramid, healthy food choices, importance of exercise, managing their food budget and others. Participants comment about learning more about eating healthy and feeding their families. Numerous one time programs have also been given at commodity distribution and various agencies. Indirect contacts of 1515 adults and 2580 food stamp recipients have also been made with handouts that feature healthy recipe choices and information. The youth graduates have some from Steiner Elementary, Headstart, Toyland, Academy of angels and the Portales Recreation Center. |
