(SNAP ED) from the University of New England. If approved, this order will expand the service area for
providing nutrition education to people who are eligible for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program to
include Northern Penobscot County. The prior provider in that region is no longer able to administer SNAP

the grant is one year from October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018.
