Planning Unit: Calloway County CES

Major Program: Community Vitality and Leadership - ANR

Plan of Work: 2022 Local Foods/Commercial Horticulture

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

The Alpha Upsilon chapter of Sigma Alpha Professional Agricultural Sorority, of Murray State University, hosts their annual Bale Buddies philanthropy event every year in the spring. 2023 is the second year the Calloway County Extension Office has participated. The proceeds for this event are donated to Bright Life Farms in Princeton, KY. Bright Life Farms is a nonprofit organization that provides housing and learning opportunities for mentally or developmentally challenged adults learning to live on their own. We participate in this event to support the women of the sorority and their efforts in spreading kindness and agriculture. This partnership provides strength for our community and growing future leaders.
