Let's Eat Healthy!(a local name for CalFresh Healthy Living, UC Placer/Nevada Counties) provides comprehensive, hands-on nutrition education as well as produce tastings, gardening, physical activity, and cooking activities to qualifying schools, youth organizations, and adult groups. The vision of Let’s Eat Healthy! is to help CalFresh-eligible children and families in Placer and Nevada Counties to maintain healthy lifestyles through wise food choices and physical activity. 

Each school year theLet's Eat Healthy! program staff serves over 2,800 children by teaching nutrition lessons and providing evidence-based nutrition curricula, trainings, and materials to teachers in qualifying schools and area educators at no cost. We reach hundreds of CalFresh-eligible adults through workshops and newsletters as well as family events. Please view our  program fact sheet for more information.

The goal of the UC CalFresh Nutrition Education Program is to offer CalFresh recipients and those eligible for CalFresh quality nutrition education geared toward promoting greater self-sufficiency. Classes and mini-workshops help participants improve their cooking, shopping, and money management skills, so they can stretch their financial resources and improve their eating habits. If interested in a free workshop, please contact Rosemary Carter (carter@ucdavis.edu).
