About Us
WSU Pierce County Extension provides nutrition education programs and workshops designed to provide limited income families with the knowledge and skills to include healthy foods and activities into everyday life. We have provided community based education for more than two decades. Our programs are focused towards youth, older youth, and adults. Programs include direct education, approaches for connecting local agencies around equitable access to physical activity, healthy food and policy that supports a just food system.
