Featured Program - Zapata County Receives a Donation to Build a Community Garden!
The Better Living for Texans team in Zapata County was recently part of a donation ceremony as a result of the great work being done to bring healthy foods to the area through developing community and home gardens! BLT Nutrition Education Assistant, Amanda Villarreal, was awarded a donation from Medina Electric Cooperative (MEC) for our Growing and Nourishing Healthy Communities (GNHC) program. The funds will be used to build a community garden on county property near the Boys and Girls club in Zapata. Pictured from left to right are: Oscar Reyes with MEC, Jesse Rodriguez (Zapata County Extension Agent for Agriculture and Natural Resources), Amanda Villarreal (Zapata County BLT Nutrition Education Assistant), Sammy Luera (Zapata County Extension Agent for Family and Community Health), and Eduardo Chapa with MEC.
