Outcome: Long-Term Outcome
During the on-going pandemic, the Homemaker Clubs were not able to meet, but that didn’t stop them from participating in educational opportunities and community service. Homemaker members participated in the following state FCS programs: Big Blue Goals challenge, estate planning series, and the How of Happiness book club. Additionally during the pandemic, the Homemakers made law enforcement appreciation bags, grab and go food bags for EMS personnel, and 28 fidget mats for a local elementary MSD classroom and for dementia residents at the local nursing home. The fidget mats had an approximate value of $2000. Also during this time, the Homemakers made facial coverings for members of the community, and donated food and needs list items to the local food pantry and children’s advocacy center.
