NIFE Oklahoma provided a three-pronged approach to delivering nutrition education to people with disabilities, their families, their caregivers, and their friends: recipe collection and distribution; curriculum development and training; and traditional and online media outreach. The project is an exemplar of leveraging deep community roots in a private-public partnership to impact population health.
