NERI

Home / NERI

Nutrition Education Reinforcement Items (NERI) are take-home items for participants that reinforce SNAP-Ed programming. They include a variety of items promoting fruit and vegetable consumption and physical activity. NERI include SNAP-Ed core messages and are a no-cost resource available to organizations delivering SNAP-Ed locally.

Using NERI in Your SNAP-Ed Programming:

  • NERI must reinforce SNAP-Ed objectives and align with specific lessons within an intervention.
  • NERI should not be distributed at every lesson. Pick one or two NERI that are well-aligned with lessons and distribute them at different times throughout a series.
  • NERI must be given to all participants and cannot be used as rewards or incentives.

Additional information about NERI is provided in the SNAP-Ed Program Parameters.
