The Nutrition Consortium is pleased to announce that the RFP process for choosing Nutrition Outreach and Education Program (NOEP) subcontractors for the period July 1, 2007 ˆJune 30, 2011 has been completed and the successful grantees have been notified. As a result of the competitive
process, 39 community-based, not-for-profit agencies will be providing NOEP services in 54 areas across New York State; 14 agencies will serve all or parts of New York City, 8 will serve upstate metropolitan areas, and 17 will serve other upstate counties. NOEP services include informing the public

The Nutrition Consortium board and staff look forward to welcoming several new agencies to the NOEP effort and are happy to have so many current subcontractors continuing to provide NOEP services.
