 Surviving the Holiday Season, especially during a pandemic can be stressful and hard on families. They are looking for ways to feed and celebrate with their families safely. The University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service, Wilderness Trail Area Family and Consumer Sciences Agents partnered together to implement Holiday Cooking School in a Box to help alleviate the stress and provide them with tools and tips to get them through these unprecedent times.

The program was conducted in Bell, Clay, Harlan, Knox, Jackson, Laurel, Rockcastle and Whitley counties. 150 individuals participated and some utilized the information on family togetherness and food safety from the Nutrition Education Program and the University of Kentucky.

 A three month follow up survey was mailed to participants and 72% say that they have discovered new information about turkey safety. 79% reported that they used new tips and ways to brighten their spirits during the Holiday Season.
