HHS0004919

The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) seeks qualified applicants to provide Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed) services for Health Care Priority. The SNAP-Ed mission is to improve the likelihood that persons eligible for SNAP will make healthy food choices within a limited budget and choose physically active lifestyles consistent with current Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the USDA food guidance. The SNAP-Ed vision is to educate, connect, and support individuals as they attempt to live healthier lives on a budget through direct education, targeted social marketing efforts, environmental strategies to encourage healthy food selection, and use of technology to reach people and communities. Health Care Priority Projects include evidence-based Projects/programs delivered by, or in Partnership, with health care organizations, as defined in Section 2.3, Eligible Applicants of the HHS0004919 Request for Applications (RFA). Health promotion and primary prevention of disease should be the focus and aim of SNAP-Ed activities for projects proposed under this project.
