We're changing our name - and look !

As of October 2008, SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) is the new name for the federal Food Stamp Program. SNAP-Ed (formerly BFNEP), is the nutrition education program for people eligible to receive food stamp benefits.
We will be transitioning to the SNAP-Ed name over the course of 2009.
