Social distancing measures during the Covid 19 pandemic has caused Extension Agents to need new ways to reach families with educational information. The Rockcastle County Extension FCS program has made 'Pick up and Go Program bags' to reach families with needed educatonal resources. Starting April 1, at least one "Go Bag" was assembled and distributed each week. Most weeks, an adult and a youth bag was assembled. Due to the popularity of the bags, the number of youth and adult bags have been increased from 15 to 20 each week. 3 series of bags have been provided this summer: Summer Sizzlin Series (7 weeks) and Keys to Graceful Aging (6 weeks) and Victory Gardens (3 weeks). The 'go bags' have helped families to stay engaged with Extension during social distancing.
