Extension To Go Continues

Author: Jordan Crain

Planning Unit: Barren County CES

Major Program: Active Living and Health Promotions General

Plan of Work: Making Healthy Lifestyle Choices

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

In response to COVID-19, Extension To Go bags were started to assure that community members could still be active and engaged in Extension Programming from the comfort of their home. The Extension To Go bags have been offered to any Green County resident wishing to participate. Topics of Extension To Go bags included: Life Story, Managing Stress, Physical Activity, Recipe Kits, Meal Planning, Green Cleaning, Grill Safety, Nature Walks and Sun Safety just to name a few. With the increase of excitement and participation in Extension To Go, the program has continued. In an effort to reach more individuals, we have partnered with other Community Partners such as Green County Youth Services Center and Lake Cumberland Community Action Agency to offer To Go bags to their clients. Now, a year later, more than 1,000 bags have been distributed to Green County residents. One participant shared that "Thanks to Extension To Go, I have been able to incorporate more season appropriate activities, and healthy recipes into mine and my kids daily routine." 29 individuals have reported a continued increase in fruit and vegetable consumption, 22 reported a continued increase in Family Physical Activity, and 37 reported making at least one healthy change as a result of the Extension To Go program.
