Bridge the Gap for Nutrition Outreach

At Cornell Cooperative Extension of Monroe County (CCE Monroe), we are on the front lines of supporting our community through hands-on nutrition education.

But to keep this programs strong and accessible, we need your help.

CCE Monroe is not funded by Cornell University. A modest 30% of our budget comes from government support, our main partner being Monroe County (for which we are incredibly thankful), the remaining 70% relies on competitive grants, contracts, and donations from people like you. And right now, we’re facing a $150,000 funding gap due to shifts in federal funding priorities and growing local demand.

This shortfall puts proven programs like SNAP-Ed at risk, programs that empower low-income families to make healthier choices and build lasting habits for a better future.

Please help us keep Nutrition education strong in Monroe County.  Consider supporting our Bridge the Gap campaign HERE.
