Who We Are

The Student Nutrition and Activity Clinic for Kids is a collaboration of health professionals, interns, and community partners serving the youth of Yamhill County, Oregon.

At SNACK, we’re working towards improving the health and wellness of children & youth in Yamhill County. We provide accessible services to 6-18-year-olds and their families to facilitate lifestyle changes supporting healthy eating and active living through direct service and community partnerships. We believe in supporting all aspects of a child’s health and wellbeing, including physical, mental and social wellness. We strive to maintain access to our no cost programming for all families in our community.

What We Do

The SNACK program facilitates behavior change through providing nutrition education lessons to participants and their caregivers/families at our program office located at Physicians’ Medical Center in McMinnville. Each weekly or bi-weekly 30-minute appointment is an opportunity for participants to learn about nutrition and healthy habits, practice SMART goal-setting, and connect with additional resources. New SNACK participants can choose to be referred by their primary care provider, or to self refer.

SNACK also supports our program participants by highlighting & hosting physical activities and movement opportunities, such as day hikes, after school soccer, running clubs, and yoga. These activities are an opportunity for participants to engage in physical activity, learn about the benefits of physical activity, and have fun.

Once a month SNACK offers wellness workshops to participants at various locations around McMinnville. Workshops vary and highlight healthy living topics such as kids cooking classes, growing your own garden, kids nutrition, and healthy habits. Each monthly workshop is an opportunity to learn about a wellness topic in a hands-on setting.
