Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
The financial constraints caused by the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic also affected local non-profits as people and agencies were not able to donate as much funding. To help the local Operation Care Women’s Shelter, the Shelby County Extension Council decided to have a fundraiser and personal and household item drive for the Women’s Shelter. The Council President and the Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Agent organized a Ladies Day Out Christmas in July Event. All participants brought in items for the Women’s Shelter and over $140 in funding was raised during a day of fun and learning. Other extension program councils also gathered items for the Women’s Shelter. Over 300 items were delivered to the Operation Care Women’s Shelter manager. She said all of the items would be very helpful in stretching the Women’s Shelter’s budget to meet the needs of the families being served.
