The Marilyn Magaram Center received a grant from Cooking Matters® to help support coordinating and implementing grocery store tour for low income communities. Dietetic Interns and MMC Interns are trained in the Cooking Matters® curriculum and prepare to conduct the tours.

All tours follow the Cooking Matters curriculum (i.e. reading food labels, comparing unit prices, finding whole grain foods, and identifying three ways to purchase produce), followed with a short cooking demo where participants can take samples as a snack. This collaboration draws awareness to the importance of purchasing fresh vegetables and fruit and a greater understanding of healthier food items by the low-income families with children ages 0-5 within local communities. MMC Student Interns Jennifer Gomez, Kennedy Johnston, Jacqueline De La Torre, Angela Mendoza, Mai Spaulding, Anthony Cabadas, Sara Magdalin, and Laura Horwitz are responsible for promoting and leading grocery store tours.

Women Infant & Children (WIC) Center on Campus
Agenda Item 6.4
Information WIC is a Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) that provides Federal grants to States for supplemental foods, health care referrals, and nutrition education for low-income pregnant, breastfeeding, and non-breastfeeding postpartum women, and to infants and children up to age five who are found to be at nutritional risk. Marilyn Magaram Center has been awarded a grant from Northeast Valley Health Corporation (NEVHC) to open a WIC Satellite Clinic on CSUN campus. The clinic is located in Santa Susanna Hall Room 104. Erin Manlulu, NEVHC Clinic Supervisor, oversees the clinic on Thursdays. The Clinic is open to all CSUN students who are low-income, expecting a child and/or have children ages 0-5. The CSUN WIC is a pilot, with a few challenges during the year. The satellite was not able to schedule appointments for the CSUN WIC office since it was not a full service (approved) WIC site at this time - there were no dedicated appointment templates. This will be discussed and based on the number of participants we are able to reach in the upcoming year. The next phase of the CSUN WIC has started in which the participant can now satisfy the education requirement with a group class worksheet or single contact counseling (when feasible). The participants will then be able to receive their food instruments (checks) via mail. Different weighing scales for the participants (infants, children, and adults) are now available in the office. Lactating moms have access to personal manual pumps provided by NEVHC WIC Program. With these changes, we hope to see an increase in participation. In Fall 2016 there was a time change from morning to afternoon to accommodate participant needs, and there have been several outreach efforts discussed to help with participation rates. In Spring 2017 the hours of the satellite changed back from 9am-1pm. We currently have a meeting scheduled with WIC and the Institute of Health and Wellbeing to discuss the WIC satellite on campus, and how we can overcome some of the challenges.
