Trigg County Extension Homemakers have always been one of the strongest leadership organizations in Trigg County. This year there were 127 members of the Trigg County Extension Homemakers Association in 8 clubs. Our Homemakers reported 1,043 Extension, youth, and community volunteer hours, at a value of $25,751.67 to the community. There are many who will not report their hours because they refuse the recognition. 

Two of our county members serve as Pennyrile Area Homemaker educational chairmen and one serves as Pennyrile Area Homemaker secretary. These representatives were instrumental in planning the spring area seminar, using a Kentucky Proud theme. Three county members attended the state KEHA meeting in April of May, 2017. Many members serve as officers and leaders in other civic groups in Trigg County and are especially active in the Hospital Auxiliary and Beta Nu, Lions Club, and Woodmen of the World. 

The Trigg County Homemakers sponsored their annual Candy Cane Land "shopping" trip for 90 preschoolers in the Trigg County School System. Most of these children are low income, at risk children. The children ride the bus to the Trigg County Extension Office and are given the opportunity to "shop" for Christmas gifts for their families. The gifts are wrapped and tagged and sent home with the children. 

Trigg County Red Cross sponsors 5 days each year that a blood donation center is set up at the St. Stephen's Catholic Church. The Trigg County Homemakers provide sandwiches, soup, and cookies to serve to those who have donated blood and provide workers for the canteen. Anywhere from 40-60 donors are served on each clinic day. 

The Trigg County Homemakers sponsor the Trigg County Women’s Show each November. This show provides information of concern to women and spotlights home-based businesses, most of which are owned by women. About 150 guests attended and visited 44 booths. 34 of the booths were home-based businesses selling their products, 10 were informational. The booths that sold products were asked to anonymously turn in the amount of their estimated profit for the day. 79% of the vendors participated in this with at total estimated profit of $5,525. This is the first attempt at tracking the economic impact for our vendors, and we plan on continuing this process.
