What is FNP?

The UF/IFAS Extension Family Nutrition Program (FNP) is SNAP-Ed (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education) in Franklin County.  It educates SNAP-eligible Franklin County residents, using evidence-based approaches, about eating healthier and being active on a budget.  FNP strives to decrease the risk of chronic disease and imporve the quality of life at every age.  

In addition to education, FNP provides community-based environmental approaches to increase food access and encourage healthier food choices.
