Island County WSU SNAP Ed Program

About Us

WSU Extension Island County SNAP-Ed provides exciting classroom, cafeteria, and school garden nutrition education activities.  We are currently working with two elementary schools in the Oak Harbor School District to encourage healthy lifestyles. We support two community gardens on the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and provide healthy recipe demonstrations using produce from the on-base gardens to encourage healthy nutrition and physical activity on the part of Navy personnel and their families.

Washington State University Extension.
