Our Purpose

Our purpose is to...are looking to provide a free nutrition series for volunteers and neighbors in the greater South Arlington/Akron community provided by The Ohio State University Extension in Summit County, Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP).  During this program families with children will learn how to make healthier choices to increase physical activity, parenting, food safety, and resource management all delivered with an interactive and hands-on approach.  Each lesson will include food tasting and recipes with items harvested from our community garden.
