The COVID 19 virus changed the way programming was offered to clients in Clay County by the Family and Consumer Science Program. 

The Family and Consumer Science Agent did 14Facebook Live videos on a variety of topics to provide educational information to the public.  Publications related to some of the videos where provided in our public access vestibule for clients to pick up for additional information.

Facebook Lives reached many more viewers than traditional programs ever had.  I boosted one of the post and the results showed that 516 people watched the video to the end.  Our meeting facility would never be able to hold a meeting with this attendance, in person.
