Crawford County
Family and Consumer Sciences

Whether you want to become a better parent, balance the family checkbook or drop a few extra pounds, you will find the answers to all your family and consumer science questions at the Crawford County Cooperative Extension Service. Family and Consumer Sciences could just as appropriately be called LIFE SKILLS because it is through the development of these skills that quality of life is improved. Take a look at these 2007 program areas:

  • Resource Management
  • Food and Nutrition
  • Food Safety
  • Leadership and Volunteer Development
  • The Best Care and Guiding Children Successfully
  • Building Individual and Family Strengths
  • Healthy Weight Management
  • Character Development
  • Food Stamp Nutrition Education

If you are interested in any of these topics, I hope you will check our web site often for postings on upcoming educational activities and programs. Or, you may email me at jwhittington@uaex.edu

I’ll look forward to hearing from you!
