Evaluation Information

The Dish is a collaborative project between the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s SNAP-Ed and EFNEP and South Dakota State University SNAP-Ed and EFNEP. The project began in 2018 and was launched to the public in 2020. The planning phase included a needs assessment, as well as discussion groups with people that were eligible for or participating in nutrition assistance programs. The needs assessment revealed:

• that participants rely on mobile devices,

• that connectivity and technical literacy are not an issue and

• that self-perception of nutrition and wellness knowledge is high.
