Agent Ginger Eatman

Growing goodness... It all started with a seed; Ginger’s SNAP-Ed journey-- Part III

I’ve been blessed beyond measure to serve the community that helped raise me, to give back to the school that gave me so much, learn how much good other schools have to offer, re-establish roots in a county I love and to help guide the next generation toward healthier and sustainable futures.
SNAP-Ed has allowed me to turn a personal passion into a purpose, and I’m honored to be part of something that allows me to make a difference for others and give God the Glory for it.

Funded by the USDA, SNAP-Ed is designed to empower individuals and families who qualify for SNAP benefits by providing free nutrition education and promoting healthier lifestyles. The goal is simple: to help communities live well by encouraging smart food choices, active living and long-term health.
