Major Program: Accessing Nutritious Foods (general)
Situation:Due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, the Crittenden County Extension Office was forced to rethink the way we deliver programming to our clientele. The week prior to the agents being asked to work remotely, we met and planned the best way to continue to offer quality programming without face to face contact. Educational response:One thing we decided to do was offer “Grab and Go” bags with projects from all three program areas during the months of March and April.
