In March 2020, Kentucky was hit with the dreaded COVID-19 virus.  March 13 was the last day that students in Kentucky went to public schools.  The Nutrition Education Program Assistant Senior in Carter County partnered with the Olive Hill Family Resource Youth Service Center that was already sending home food to 60 youth through the Backpack program.   The Nutrition Education Program Assistant Senior created a Program in a Bag to distribute with the backpacks.   The Program contained Hand-washing safety, the lesson Healthy Cooking for Every Body for parents & kids which is part of the Healthy Choices for Every Body Curriculum and recipes for them to make together.
