Feed the Hungry

Author: James Cecil

Planning Unit: Clinton County CES

Major Program: 4-H Leadership Core Curriculum

Plan of Work: Strengthening Families & Enhancing Lifestyle Choices

Outcome: Initial Outcome

According to the 2019 County Health Rankings, Clinton County has a 16% food insecurity rate. When high poverty, unemployment, and other risk factors related to the coronavirus pandemic combine, the stress of limited food access is overwhelming for many families. Clinton County Extension staff have helped facilitate the monthly commodities food distribution program during the pandemic. A drive through format has been utilized for health and safety purposes. During March, April, May an June a total of 2,562 families have received food during the outreach events. These past few months have seen the highest numbers of families seeking food assistance in the history of our county.  Extension was able to meet an immediate food access need for many, help alleviate stress for a brief period of time, and provide valuable information through distribution of the Healthy at Home newsletter to participating families.  It is a valuable part of Extension work to help the community when its needs are the greatest.
