Copies - All handouts and newsletters that are distributed to program participants should be clean, legible and copied straight. They should be identified with both the FNEP logo and the MU Extension logo. The curriculum logo can replace the FNEP logo but not the MU UME logo.

FNEP Logos can be downloaded from the FNEP Web Site and they can be found on the S Drive: MUCampus/HES/FNEP/FNEP Logos
MU Extension Logos can be downloaded from the MU Extension Web Site at http://www.extension.missouri.edu

All FNP materials (local and state-level developed) are to have the non-discrimination, outreach and funding statements on them along with appropriate logos/identification.

• The non-discrimination statement is a requirement of Extension and our funding agency. The non-discrimination statement is: University of Missouri Extension is an equal opportunity/ADA institution. And from Publications: if the MU Extension logo is on a piece, the shortened version “equal opportunity/ADA institution “ should appear below the logo. It should accompany the MU Extension logo, not the FNEP logo. If the MU Extension logo is not used, then it should say, “University of Missouri Extension is an equal opportunity/ADA institution.”
• The outreach statement is a requirement of our funding agency. The outreach statement is: Running out of money for food? Contact your local Food Stamp office or go to www.dss.mo.gov/fsd/fstamp
• The funding statement is: Funded in part by USDA’s Food Stamp Program.

If you have materials that do not contain these statements, you can add them when you reprint. Do not discard the copies you have on hand.

Posters and Visual Aides should also be identified with FNEP and UME logos. They should be neat, clean and contain accurate information.

FNEP Staff should always wear a nametag that identifies them with the University of Missouri Extension. Nametags may be omitted if you wear your FNEP shirt. Nametags can be ordered through Extension Publications.

Each NPA will receive a new short-sleeved polo shirt and a long-sleeved shirt on an annual basis. These shirts will have both the FNEP logo and the UME logo on them. When wearing the shirts they should fit properly, be clean and wrinkle free. Wearing these shirts will identify the NPA is an employee of MU Extension/FNEP.
