About SNAP-Ed Connection
HistoryThe Food Stamp Nutrition Connection was established in 2001, by the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service with the goal of helping Food Stamp Nutrition Educators find the tools and information they need to provide quality nutrition education for low-income audiences.
On October 1, 2008 the Food Stamp Nutrition Connection became the SNAP-Ed Connection.
SNAP-Ed Connection is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service and maintained at the National Agricultural Library's Food and Nutrition Information Center (FNIC) in collaboration with the University of Maryland.
