Our Vision

The West Virginia Family Nutrition Program (FNP) is a statewide outreach program which focuses on nutrition, food, and physical activity through multiple projects, community-based initiatives and key partnerships. FNP prioritizes accountability and documents its impact on related behaviors of West Virginia’s limited resource families. As a visible and critical part of WVU and WVU Extension Service, we maintain a strong research base and experiential, facilitative approach to delivering information to our focus audience.
