Nutrition Education Program

OSU Extension strives to help strengthen families by providing resources to meet the challenges of daily life. Deborah John was hired in June 2009, as our new Family and Community Health faculty for Clackamas County.

In January of 2011, Kelly Streit, MS RD began serving as Instructor for Family and Community Health. Since January, Kelly, with her team of educational program assistants, has offered nutrition education programs in Clackamas County Schools, low-income housing areas, Oregon Food Bank sites and other non profit agencies. The summer of 2011 saw the Family Food Educators -Master Food Preservers, out in Clackamas County sponsoring food preservation classes, staffing the OSU Master Food Preserver Volunteer Booth at the Oregon City Farmers Market as well as food preservation classes through the OSU Clackamas County Extension office.

A major theme of the programming in Clackamas County is providing nutrition education to low-income families. We also offer learning experiences through our volunteer programs. You may also contact us with your food or home question.
