Local Resources and Information

Illinois Nutrition Education Program
"When I first came to class, I was expecting just cooking, but I learned so much about nutrition and how to eat healthier. I was amazed that my son ate all the healthy foods we prepared. Now, when I go shopping, I know how to read the labels. This class was a good experience, and I am happy I took it, or I would probably be home eating chips and soda." --- Nutrition Education Participant
Illinois Nutrition Education Program (INEP) Healthy Recipes
