EFNEP (Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program) is a free nutrition education program offered in several counties in Ohio for low-income adults with children and youth. Program assistants use interactive discussions and hands-on activities to guide participants through a series of meetings aimed at improving the total family diet and nutritional well-being.
The Coshocton County Master Gardener Volunteer program ended in early 2024 due to declining membership. For more than 20 years, dozens of Coshocton County Master Gardener Volunteers educated gardeners and homeowners about unbiased, research-based best practices and provided beautiful spaces throughout our communities. OSU Extension is grateful for the thousands of volunteer hours that were given.
