During the COVID-19 pandemic, McCreary County Extension has used “Grab-n-Go Program Bags and correlating social media videos for community members in McCreary County. These grab-n-go bags are free and champion at-home learning for youth, adults, and families to help during the crisis. Our bag initiative highlights programs and lessons from 4-H, Agriculture, and Family & Consumer Sciences including at-home gardening, STEM, healthy moving, making healthy choices relating to snacks and recipes, proper handwashing, agriculture, natural resources, expressive arts, family and consumer sciences, leadership, and communications. These bags are developed in collaboration with the ANR/4-H Agent, FCS/4-H Agent, SNAP-Ed program assistant, 4-H program assistant, and staff assistant. Inside the bags, community members will find instructions and materials to complete the lesson/project. Along with the lesson, we also include informative publications that relate to the lesson and supplemental items to go along if appropriate. Over 100 grab-n-go bags were distributed in June.
