Planning Unit: Clinton County CES

Major Program: Volunteer Development

Plan of Work: Developing Leadership, Life Skills and Social Responsibility

Outcome: Initial Outcome

Clinton County Cooperative Extension has stepped up to the plate again this year with helping our community by working to help feed families during this time of need and through the COVID-19 Pandemic.  We have served several hundred families monthly this past year.  We started with drive through and now we are having foods available so that families can walk through and pick up there own food.  We assist them by carrying their items to their vehicle if need and also we will assist them in filling their boxes if that is needed.  We have a group of high school students that help each month.  We have an average of 12 High School students per month that volunteer to help us distribute commodities.  Meeting the needs of the community is very important to me and it is important to the families that get served so that we can help them with a source to feed their family.  It is good for 4-H teens to see how important it is to to give back to society and be a positive leader in your community.
