Programming Advantages and Disadvantages during an Unprecedented Time

The pandemic brought about many evolving obstacles with programming, community partners, agencies, and schools. The major health crisis of the pandemic forced programs like EFNEP and SNAP-Ed to shift their delivery mode. It is our intent to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of program delivery during the pandemic and share ways we stayed connected with community partners, agencies, and participants.
