For 30 years, SNAP-Ed helped people build healthy eating habits and be more active on a limited budget. Following a federal decision to end funding, the program was discontinued after July 4, 2025.
Through practical, hands-on education and local partnerships, SNAP-Ed helped people with limited resources build lifelong skills around nutrition, cooking, physical activity, and budgeting for healthy meals.
But sustainable change takes more than knowledge. That’s why SNAP-Ed also invested in lasting improvements through policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) work, which helped reshape the places where people live, learn, and work so that healthier choices become easier and more affordable.
This page features the inspiring stories behind that work — from tackling food insecurity in high schools to launching creative partnerships that bring local farmers' produce to children through early care and education centers.
We invite you to explore these videos and articles and see what’s possible when education, partnership, and policy come together to support a healthier Michigan.
