To promote continued learning and family enrichment during Covid-19, the Holidays at Home series was offered from October 19 through December 11, 2020.  This series was a state-wide Family and Consumer Sciences (FCS) effort.  Each week, the Washington County FCS Agent offered grab and go bags with materials provided by the UK FCS Staff, supplemental activities, and Plate It Up Kentucky Proud recipes.  Each Thursday, a webinar from FCS Specialists was shared locally on Facebook.  Topics included Halloween safety, holiday spending and saving, Thanksgiving preparation, stress management, creating memories, and family health.  

A total of 501 bags were given to Washington County families through this series.  One participant submitted this photo of her daughter completing a Halloween sewing project and stated, “Thank you so much for your holidays at home bags.  My daughter made memories with her grandmother that can never be replaced.  I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate all the bags that you are doing.”  Washington County Extension will continue to provide adapted programming to promote health, connection, and skill development.
