County board honors FoodWIse educators amid SNAP-Ed funding cuts
Summary
Eau Claire County recognized four FoodWIse educators impacted by SNAP-Ed funding cuts; area extension director Kristen Breuder praised the staff for partnerships and outcomes while two educators remain part time through Sept. 30, 2026.
Supervisor DeLuca introduced the FoodWIse educators and described SNAP-Ed funding cuts that reduced staff capacity.
