TNCEP (Tennessee Nutrition and Consumer Education Program)
Contact: Shelly N. Phillips or Melissa Kim Woodson
TNCEP is a nutrition education program for Wilson County families who receive Food Stamps or who are eligible for Food Stamps. The goal of TNCEP is to teach families how to choose and prepare nutritionally adequate diets and help them feel empowered to move toward self-sufficiency. Families are taught how to use Food Stamps and related resources effectively.
Education is delivered by the Wilson County FCS Extension Agent, TNCEP Program Assistant, Extension Staff, and TNCEP Coalition (partners in the community who work with the Food Stamp audience). The characteristic of TNCEP that makes it different from other nutrition education programs is that it is coalition-driven. A community coalition of individuals from various agencies determine what types of education are delivered. Funding for TNCEP is provided by the USDA and the Tennessee Department of Human Services.
