Plan of Work: Supporting Those Who Support Us
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
After a 10 month deployment, soldiers from the B Battery 1/623d FA (HIMARS) National Guard Unit from Monticello, Kentucky returned home. Throughout the deployment, Extension provided monthly newsletters with healthy recipes, family activities, financial information, upcoming extension programs, and information provided by the commander. 4-H Ambassadors provided activities for kids at the Family Readiness Group Meetings. Other family issues were addresses as needed. Wayne Co 4-H worked with the Mayor of Monticello and the Wayne Co. Judge Executive to secure some services and emergency escort to welcome soldiers home. Joe Farmer, State Farm Agent provided board games for all the families. 74 soldiers and families were reached by the project. As a result of this project soldiers and families feel they can reach out to the Cooperative Extension Service 4-H Program for any needs my family has prior, during, or post deployment, families have improved communications as a direct result of resources provided by the Cooperative Extension Service 4-H Program and recognize the Cooperative Extension Service 4-H Program as a valuable resource for Military Families
