Wisconsin Nutrition Education Program (WNEP)

The Wisconsin Nutrition Education Program (WNEP) helps people in Fond du Lac and Green Lake Counties…

• Purchase and prepare healthy meals and snacks based on the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and the new “My Plate” recommendations
• Keep food safe to eat
• Increase their food security by learning how to manage money

 The Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion, an organization of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, was established in 1994 to improve the nutrition and well-being of Americans.  Toward this goal, the Center focuses its efforts on two primary objectives:

1.  Advance and promote dietary guidance for all Americans, and
2.  Conduct applied research and analyses in nutrition and consumer economics.
