West Virginia SNAP-Ed program faces funding cut
The SNAP-Ed program known as the WVU Extension Family Nutrition Program could lose about 4.1 million dollars in the Senate budget. If cut, roughly 40 health educators would lose pay and the statewide obesity prevention and nutrition education efforts through churches clinics and schools would be reduced. The measure follows House approval and faces Senate review as advocates warn the move undermines bipartisan health goals.
