Kentucky 4-H Project Boxes
A Project to Assist Youth Affected by the 2022 Flooding in Southeast Kentucky
There are an estimated 700 youth currently displaced in just three of the five federally designated counties recently impacted by the flooding in Southeastern Kentucky. In response to this, Kentucky 4-H and Family Consumer Sciences offered “4-H Project Boxes” for all youth 3-18 years old. Fayette County proudly reports donating 90 project boxes- 30 to each age group. 3 agents and our NEP assistant helped create and pack the following items:
- Socks
- Mechanical pencils
- Markers
- Crayons
- Coloring Books
- Dry Shampoo
- Lip Balm
- Lotion
- Educational resources
- Activity resources and supplies depending on age group
