The COVID-19 pandemic presented many challenges for the community as schools were moved online and parents were home from work. In an effort to address these issues, the Graves County Extension Office offered Grab-n-Go Project Bags to give youth something to do after their NTI work was completed. This gave youth something to look forward to as many enrichment programs were cancelled and also helped continue their at-home education. 

Project bags that were designed, assembled, and distributed included Decoupage, Seed Starting, Button Sewing, Straw Rockets, Bird Feeders, Stress Balls, Jewlery Beading, Night Hiking, Marshmallow Catapults, Nursing Home Cards, Paper Cranes, Soil Sams, Claysculpting, Table Setting, Chalk Fitness, and Jellyfish Friendship Bracelets. In total, 1,950 4-H and FCS Project Bags were distributed to our community throughout the 8-week timespan from the last day of school to the last day of the NTI work. Parent responses were very favorable. Here is a quote from a parent: "I just wanted to let you guys know how much I appreciate the grab bags! My kids have really enjoyed all of the activities so far. They are perfect for some of the rainy days we have been having."
