Recent research indicates children who eat meals at home have improved grades, social skills and less health issues.  The Morgan County FCS Advisory Council suggested increased social media be utilized to increase involvement in foods programs.  

     In collaboration with ANR agent, local family resource center, members of the advisory council, programs were offered including:  Tuesday Toolbox series, Veggie Bucks, food preservation, Farmers Market, Field Day, Quick Breads workshop, Food Pantry and Holiday Fun Day programs.  Participants learned and practiced methods of quick cooking, safe food handling, meal planning, food preservation, selecting and preparing fruits and vegetables.  More than 725 participants compared recipes and developed skills to prepare healthier meals.
