One of the undertakings of the Pike County ANR is providing services to the underprivileged and desperately needy.  Manna From Heaven is a Food Bank that tries to provide for the needs of our most vulnerable.  Extension was asked to provide some trainings that would allow these individuals to become more self sufficient.  Extension has been able to provide training in Beginning Beekeeping, Pasture Poultry, High Tunnels, Low Tunnels, Winter Gardening, & Year Round Gardening.  Clientele have been given basic instruction in all of these topics and demo's have been provided to Manna From Heaven for the people to work from and apply what is covered at their home.  Multiple individuals have taken what was covered and applied to their home situation.  Many of the topics have offered alternative way of doing the proposed activities using what is adapted/modified/used at their home situation.  It has always been covered that they do not need new equipment, but may be able to modify what they find at home or at a local yard sale.  Trainings vary from a high of 15 attendees to a low of 5 attendees.  Variations are often the result of clientele not having transportation on the day of the training and trainings/copies of all Power Points and as much information as possible is left for them to pick up when they can come in to the food bank.  All clientele are always very thankful and show appreciation for any attempt to aid them in providing for their families.
