The "I Am Bored" Dilemma

Author: Lisa Musgrove

Planning Unit: McCreary County CES

Major Program: Nutrition and Food Systems General

Outcome: Initial Outcome

The phrase heard around America by parents of school age children. The McCreary County Extension office in Kentucky have been creating Grab N Go Learning Bags for their community. These bags contain educational activities for children and adults where they can learn the skills to cook meals together, garden together, do healthy activities together, craft and play games together. The Agricultural and Natural Resource Agent, Family and Consumer Sciences Agent, 4-H Assistant and SNAP Ed Assistant have assembled 100 Grab N Go Learning Bags for our community and  those bags are eagerly picked up within 30 minutes of being set out. At a time when food insecurity is high the Snap Ed Assistant has provided recipes for healthy low cost meals. She has provided information on meal planning, budgeting, food storage and food safety. We are proud to be able to help our community youth and adults keep active and learning during this time of social distancing.
