 The Extension Nutrition Program (ENP) is a University of Idaho Extension education program that is designed to help limited resource adults learn how to stretch their food dollars to provide tasty, low-cost, healthy meals for their families. Research has found that when families take charge of their diets and food budgets they frequently begin taking control over other areas of their lives. ENP teaches nutrition and consumer related skills that lead to individual change. Therefore, ENP helps families in Idaho move toward increased self-sufficiency. It is helpful for those who are transitioning from welfare to work.

To help adults in this transition the University of Idaho has hired Rebecca Coffey to serve families in Lemhi County. Becky began her position in May of 2011. She spent the summer being trained on the available curriculum and teaching at the Grand Slam and 4-H Camp. This Fall she has traveled to many classrooms in Salmon. She is now available to help Lemhi County families make healthy food choices. She can be contacted through the Lemhi County Extension Office at 208-756-2815 ext 301.
