Program To Go

Author: Sarah Congleton

Planning Unit: Montgomery County CES

Major Program: Promoting Healthy Homes and Communities (general)

Plan of Work: Family Resource Management

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

People are facing numerous challenges because the COVID-19 pandemic has spread across Kentucky so quickly. The Governor has restricted access to various locations throughout Kentucky that are labeled nonessential and has issued a stay at home order. The result of the stay at home order means that people have shuffled their schedules and daily tasks immensely and are now either working remotely or not working at all. As weeks pass, one of the challenges that people are seeing is how to entertain their families. To help with this growing problem of how to educate at home and how to live healthy at home, the Montgomery County Family and Consumer Sciences Agent developed a “Program To Go” program that allows parents/guardians to stop by and pick up an educational program, go back to their home, and complete the lesson or activity together. The program includes 6 topics that allows for educational family togetherness, which are: Make Your Own Green Cleaner, Family Time – Read Together, Gardening, Sewing Kit, Family Mealtime, and Family Physical Activity. As a result of this program, there have been at least 20 families that have said they enjoyed these activities because it gave us new ideas and activities that we wouldn’t have thought of ourselves or it’s something we don’t do on a normal everyday basis.
