Testimonials

Youth Participant:

"I tried Kiwi yesterday for the first time.  At first I thought it looked nasty, but my mom said I had to try it because I asked her to buy it.  I thought of you ( youth PA) and how you said we should be brave and try new things.  So I did, and I liked it!"

School Teacher:

"I loved and the youth loved the hands on materials!"

Adult Participant:

"Now after taking EFNEP's Eat Smart-Be Active, we are all on fat free milk.  My son didn't even notice the difference."
