Nutrition Education

Welcome To St. Croix County FoodWIse!

What is FoodWIse?

The Wisconsin FoodWIse program is a UW-Extension nutrition education program that helps limited resource families and individuals choose healthful diets, purchase and prepare healthful food and handle it safely. Families become more food secure by spending their food dollars wisely.

Nutrition Education in St. Croix, Polk and Pierce Counties

FoodWIse partners with many local organizations to provide nutrition education in St. Croix, Polk and Pierce Counties. Some locations where this education happens include grocery stores, WIC clinics, food pantries, Head Start, job service, shelters, schools and senior sites. Education focuses on learning how to plan healthy, inexpensive meals, how to foster healthy eating habits in children, simple meal preparation methods and practices, and how to be more physically active.
