<div>The Richland County Extension office is offering Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)-Ed classes from 10:30 a.m. - 12 p.m. every Thursday through May 1, except April 17. Classes are being held at the extension office, 1499 N. Central Ave., Sidney.“Our program offers free in-person and online classes that explore healthy cooking, stretching limited food dollars, food safety skills, physical activity, and meal planning according to MyPlate. Our classes are designed for individuals with all levels of physical abilities who receive SNAP, qualify for SNAP, or who qualify for the free/reduced lunch program. It is an interactive and hands-on 9-lesson series,” said Stephanie Reynolds, Richland Co. Extension Agent.Topics that will be covered are “Fruits & Veggies: Half Your Plate”, “Make Half Your Grains Whole”, “Build Strong Bones”, “Go Lean with Protein”, “Make a Change”, and “Celebrate! Eat Smart and Be Active”. Classes are taught virtually by a SNAP educator, and each includes a cooking demonstration, and one physical activity that can be modified according to physical ability.Though classes do require half of the attendants to qualify, or have someone in their household qualify, for SNAP or free/reduced school lunches, the public is welcome to attend. Registration is not required, though it does help instructors better prepare for the food demonstrations. Participants are asked to fill out a survey for the SNAP Education Grant that made the program possible.Prior to being an extension agent, Reynolds was the communities in action director with the Richland County Health Department, and knew nutrition classes were something the community wanted.“When I started working at the extension office and learned there was funding to bring these classes to our community, I knew it was needed,” she recalls. “I want these classes to be available to as many people as possible and hope to continue them in the future, trying new locations and different times to see what works best for people. I’d love to hear feedback.”To register for SNAP-Ed, or for more information, call the Richland County Extension office at 406.433.1206 and ask for Reynolds.</div>
