What's New?

CAN-Act is working to
make SNAP-Ed a
more effective and
efficient publicly
funded program.
We've written a new
policy brief entitled
"SNAP-Ed: Doing
More of What Matters"
and would like your
help in distributing it
broadly. Give us a call
(see contact page) if
you have ideas! You
can download the brief
here.
