Extension to go bags during COVID-19
Author: Molly Jordan
Planning Unit: Bracken County CES
Major Program: 4-H Youth Development Programming
Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work
Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
In early March, planning for summer programs was underway, excitement about camp was building, fair projects were started; however, when COVID-19 struck all of those things went out to door. As extension agents, we were wondering how we can impact and serve a community that we could not interact with. Through social media outlets, we developed a weekly take home bag that included items from all three-program areas. To date we have given out over 180 kits. The themes of these kits ranged from windowsill gardening, science exploration, meal planning, budgeting 101, hand washing, and others. We are conducting these kits through the end of July and then plan to transition to other forms as the school year begins. Through the pandemic, the belief that the Extension Service is vital to our communities has prevailed.
