Planning Unit: Magoffin County CES

Plan of Work: Nutrition and Food Systems
Outcome: Initial Outcome
The poorest county in Kentucky has a median income of $31,927, according to a recent report from financial website SmartAsset. The site named Magoffin County the poorest in the commonwealth in an article in the Lexington Herald-Leader newspaper.
In response, the Magoffin County Extension Office 4-H worked in conjunction with FRYSC centers at all schools to fight food insecurity for our youth. Approximately 60 youth from 25 families received weekly food bag deliveries at their school sites from September-May. The program funded by private donations provided an estimated 12,810 meals and 960 snacks.
Participants were chosen by school personnel and food, packaging and delivery to school sites was provided by Magoffin Extension.
