About Us
The Walla Walla County Department of Community Health in southeast Washington has offered SNAP-Ed programming for the past ten years. Recently we have focused on adult food access in local food pantries, healthy food promotion, healthy food and physical environments in childcare, and teaching youth in supportive housing as well as in schools. This year, look for our continued work around adult food access, a focus on healthy environments for childcare and supportive housing, and teaching youth in supportive housing, elementary and middle schools.
