Oregon State University Extension Service in Lane County steadily grew its community outreach programs after county voters passed a levy to fund Extension in 2016. The Extension Nutrition Education and Outreach programs are part of the Extension Family and Community Health Program in the OSU College of Public Health and Human Sciences.
These programs engage with communities across Oregon to provide nutrition education to thousands of limited income youth, families, and adults. Through research-based strategies, these programs focus on obesity prevention through community collaborations and engagement, particularly via the signature Food Hero social marketing initiative, to help make the healthy choice the easy choice.
