The goal for this project is to develop and deliver an innovative nutrition education project. This project will provide participants receiving benefits and services from Indian Tribal Organizations (ITOs) and State agencies that administer FDPIR with culturally appropriate nutrition education activities and programming that promote USDA Foods and support Secretary Brooke Rollins’ priority to strengthen strategies that encourage healthy choices, healthy outcomes, and healthy families. The tools and resources developed under this cooperative agreement must align with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025 – 2030 (Dietary Guidelines) and support the efforts of FDPIR program staff in conducting nutrition education activities for FDPIR participants who receive USDA Foods.
