We’re Saying Goodbye 💙

After nearly 30 years, the UF/IFAS Extension Family Nutrition Program (FNP) will be wrapping up on September 30, 2025, due to changes in federal funding for SNAP-Ed.

We’ve had the privilege of working with families and communities all across Florida—sharing nutrition tips, supporting healthy habits, and helping make nutritious food more accessible. It’s been an incredible journey, and we’re so grateful to everyone who’s been part of it.

As we prepare to close this chapter, our team is working closely with partners to finish up current projects and make the transition as smooth as possible. Even though this is a tough goodbye, our commitment to Florida families remains strong.

We’ll keep sharing updates here and on our website: familynutritionprogram.org

Thank you for your support, your partnership, and your heart. 💚

🔥 From the classroom to the kitchen—and into the workforce.

At Hawthorne Middle/High, students dove into an 8-week culinary series with Chef Ebony Griffin and FNP educator Rebecca Williams. They didn’t just learn to cook—they gained certifications, earned summer jobs, and found inspiration for the future. 💼🍽️

This is how #SNAPEd empowers youth: through real skills, real stories, and real opportunities.
