SNAP-Ed program and holiday recipe featured on 207

Maine's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Education (SNAP-Ed), based out of UNE's School of Community and Population Health, was recently featured on WCSH6's 207 news program.

Tina Marescia, R.D., nutrition educator for UNE's Coastal Healthy Communities Coalition, prepared a healthy holiday roasted butternut squash recipe with 207 Host Rob Caldwell. The segment focused on SNAP-Ed's mission to teach families how to eat healthy on a budget, and highlighted key messages about selecting in-season vegetables, and heart-healthy oils. 

The full video and recipe are available on the WCSH6 website.
