We promote healthy living for all of Oklahoma through innovative and creative strategies for communities, families, and individuals.
Important Project Update
Beginning October 1, 2025, the ONIE Project will no longer offer programming and services previously funded by the Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention Grant, otherwise known as SNAP-Ed. The federal budget reconciliation bill (H.R. 1, or the “Big Beautiful Bill Act”) eliminated this funding in July 2025.
ONIE programming affected by this loss of funding includes Choose Homemade, MyPlate, Tasty Text, Let’s Get Moving, and the Oklahoma’s Farmers Markets and Local Food Access initiative.
For more than 20 years, ONIE has received SNAP-Ed funding to make healthy living doable for Oklahoma families. Together with communities across the state, this programming shared how simple, affordable, and delicious healthy food can be. We shared recipes that fit busy schedules, showed families how to stretch their grocery dollars, and supported farmers markets that brought fresh, local produce to local communities.
Choosehomemade.org will remain accessible indefinitely so that Oklahoma families, and those who have come to enjoy and rely on our recipes, can continue to use them.
ONIE is continuing to serve its mission of promoting healthy living for all Oklahomans through innovative and creative strategies. We encourage our partners and community to keep visiting onieproject.org and following us on social media to stay connected and see how we’re active across the state.
Thank you to the families, schools, farmers, and community partners who joined us in this work. Your partnership made our efforts stronger and helped create lasting change in kitchens and communities across Oklahoma.
WHAT WE DO
The ONIE Project strives to improve the health, nutrition, and well being of Oklahomans by creating system-level changes, developing nutrition and physical activity interventions, increasing access to local food systems, and building a network of partnerships with community organizations.
We are a multidisciplinary team made up of public health experts, dietitians, organizers, social marketers, and creatives – all of us passionate about creating social change and having a positive impact on our Oklahoma home.
HOW WE SERVE OKLAHOMA
We work with partner organizations, state agencies, and local communities all over the state. Each of our project initiatives has its own goals and objectives, but all have the mission of serving individuals, families, and communities in Oklahoma.
