About Us
JoCo EATS (easy, affordable, tasty solutions) was developed by Johnson County K-State Research and Extension Nutrition, Food Safety, and Health Agent in collaboration with the Johnson County Extension Master Food Volunteers. Our mission is to help improve the health and livelihoods of all Johnson County residents, especially those experiencing food insecurity or financial hardship.
JoCo EATS provides nutritious and affordable recipes along with information on stretching your food dollar, eating seasonally, and cooking confidently. We have many other services that are available upon request including but not limited to:
- Conduct nutrition, food safety, and health education presentations.
- Distribute health and wellness resources.
- Lead cooking demonstrations or facilitate hands-on cooking classes.
- Create recipes to help increase the adoption and use of certain foods.
- Support organizations and community members to live healthier lives.
We know that to prepare healthy meals for you or your family, you must have the knowledge, confidence, and essential kitchen equipment. Through our Kitchen Restore Program, we accept new or gently used kitchen items and distribute them back out in the community to those in need.
