The BronxWorks SNAP Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention (SNAP-Ed) Program aims to promote health and prevent and/or postpone the onset of diet-related diseases amongst the SNAP population of the Bronx by providing nutrition education and obesity prevention services. We will focus heavily on Bronx CDs 1-6, including: (1) children in grades 1-5 and (2) adults and caregivers with children ages 2 through 18. The program includes conducting evidence-based nutrition education courses and workshops, food demonstrations, grocery store tours, operating two youth-led farms stands, and implementing healthy bodega store interventions to increase access to healthy food in Bronx neighborhoods. The program also includes the implementation of the CATCH Kids Club program at five school-aged after school program sites.
