Outreach Program Description:
EFNEP is a federally funded program that is designed to offer
nutrition information to low income residents.
Adult curriculum topics include meal planning and shopping,
financial management, feeding families and food pyramid nutrition.
Youth programming includes food pyramid nutrition, healthy
snacking, and food safety. Programming
is offered in English and Spanish and low-literacy materials are
available when needed. Six
community nutrition assistants travel throughout the state to
provide programming in schools, small group settings, to individuals
in their homes and in a self-study "Learn at Home"
curriculum.
Outreach Program Impact Statement:
In fiscal '99, EFNEP reached 607 families with a total of 1640
members. Ninety-three
(93) percent of families were enrolled and completed instruction
within a 3 month period. As
a result of participation, ninety-one (91) percent reported a
positive change in food group selections with more people increasing
their consumption of fruits and vegetables than any other food
group. At program exit,
20% of participants reported eating a 6-2-3-2-2 food pattern as
opposed to only two percent at program entry.
Youth participation includes 3271 children between the ages
of 3-12. As a result of
participation in EFNEP: 49%
reported eating a variety of food, 29% increased knowledge of the
essentials of human nutrition, 12% increased their ability to select
low-cost, nutritious food and 28% improved food preparation and
safety practices.

Outreach Program Description:
The Hunger Center offers a variety of outreach programs. Through a
minor in Hunger Studies, we involve undergraduate students directly
in the study of the causes and consequences of hunger. As a part of
the minor, students engage in research and service-learning
opportunities related to anti-hunger activities. Students from a
wide variety of majors throughout the University are involved in
Center activities as volunteers, research assistants, and interns.
Over the past three years the Center has managed the Food Stamp
Outreach Project for the State of Rhode Island. The goal of this
project is to reach all low-income families in RI who are
potentially eligible for the Food Stamp Program participation.
Through education and training programs of state workers as well as
volunteers and staff of non-profit agencies (e.g., food pantries,
soup kitchens, shelters) we expect to improve service for the
low-income families, individuals and children who require the
services of federal nutrition programs. The center also offers a 10
week Anti-hunger Leadership Training Program, aimed at volunteers
and staff of anti-hunger agencies throughout the state. In addition,
Center staff work closely with other advocacy agencies throughout
the state with the goal of advancing and supporting efforts to
promote economic security for all Rhode Islanders
Outreach Program Impact Statement:
Through the minor in Hunger Studies, we involve undergraduate
students directly in the study of the causes and consequences of
hunger. In addition, students from across the university engage in
research and service-learning opportunities related to anti-hunger
issues. Through our research/outreach efforts, we are attempting to
reach all low-income families in Rhode Island who are potentially
eligible for Food Stamp Program participation. Current estimates
suggest that over 20,000 potentially eligible individuals are not
receiving the benefits of the program. Through our education and
training efforts, of state workers and volunteers and staff of food
pantries and soup kitchens throughout the state, we expect to reach,
indirectly, most of the low-income families, individuals and
children who require the services of food pantries, soup kitchens,
and federal nutrition programs.
