Outcome: Initial Outcome

Growing educational information through online resources has been a goal for Montgomery County Extension for several years. With the COVID-19 pandemic in play, this was the perfect time to expand our resource via social media sites. The Family and Consumer Sciences program merged to meet the needs of the community by offering take home programs and offered various resources of information, podcasts, zoom trainings, etc. online. The FCS program also offered short cooking demonstrations that families could do together while home with their children. The Montgomery County Extension office website and Facebook site has grown in likes, page shares, and has developed it messenger base to better help clientele.
