Grab and Go Kits one year later
Author: Kelly Bland
Planning Unit: Ohio County CES
Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
The COVID-19 pandemic caused a lot of programs to change this past year. One of those program alterations was the start of Grab and Go kits. What started as a weekly offering, has now turned into an ongoing monthly partnership with other program areas in the Daviess County Cooperative Extension office.
Monthly Grab and Go kits have been provided to our community from October – March, reaching 265 adults and 171 kids. Topics that were covered were Food Safety, Holiday Traditions, New Years Resolutions, Heart Health, Nutrition Month, Farmers’ Market, Diabetes Awareness, and Soup’s On.
QR Codes were created with our Grab and Go kits, so that participants could give feedback. 50% of participants learned a new tip or skill from resources provided, and 30% are making healthy lifestyle choices because of the information provided. Several survey participants also left comments.
“I love learning new creative meals and healthy cooking.”
“I love recipes and gardening ideas.”
“I like having information I can learn from and share with other friends.”
