Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: As food pantries serve populations experiencing food insecurity, they are key sites for public health interventions. From November 2021 to January 2023, this open-label, single-arm, pre- and post-intervention evaluated Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program-Education (SNAP-Ed) technical assistance aimed at improving Nutrition Environment Food Pantry Assessment Tool (NEFPAT) scores. Analyses included independent t-tests, paired t-tests, and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. After technical assistance, NEFPAT scores improved (n = 28, 19.71 ± 5.86 to 25.79 ± 7.50, p < .0001). Findings highlight the need to support pantries and suggest a pantry’s nutrition environment can improve through SNAP-Ed partnership.
