Fall Grab N Go Bags
Author: Samantha Gamblin
Planning Unit: Bullitt County CES
Major Program: Family and Consumer Science
Plan of Work: Youth and Adult Financial, Parenting, Life Skill, and Practical Skill Development
Outcome: Initial Outcome
During this pandemic schools went to online learning and businesses were closed on and off. During this time Bullitt 4-H wanted to take this time to find unique ways to reach youth even if we couldn't meet in person. We began Grab N Go bags in the summer and wanted to continue through the Fall.
Each week 4-H Grab-N-Go bags were put together with different topics and supplies. Each bag has its own theme and the items inside correspond to said theme. There will be a hands on activity and educational materials.
To insure that the CDC guidelines were being followed, the office would have the bags available outside the office on rolling carts and a sign in sheet. The sheet was used to keep track on who was picking up the bags and added to the 4-H Newsletter. Sanitizer was provided and they were to keep the pen they used to sign in.
These bags have been a great way to bring familiies together and complete a project. .Parents were encouraged to take pictures of their child completing the projects and send them to agents. We used them in our Newsletter and Facebook page which helped gain more new clientele for future programming.
12 weeks of FALL Grab N Go bags.
