Our Results
“I really enjoy this program, and I know that my students do as well. It is great to have lessons and reminders of healthier options and to show the kids how easy it can be to make a healthy snack or dish! [CalFresh Healthy Living, UCCE educators] are very organized and prepared, and I appreciate the work that you do!”
