The Union County Extension Office is asking for input from local residents to help shape future Family and Consumer Science (FCS) programs. FCS programs cover a wide range of topics that support families and communities, including nutrition and cooking, financial literacy, health and wellness, parenting, and more.

Abigail Thomas, Union County’s Family and Consumer Science Agent, is conducting a needs assessment to better understand what resources and programs would be most helpful to the people of Union County.

“This survey is a great way for community members to share their thoughts and help guide the direction of our local programs,” Thomas said. “The results will allow us to provide classes and workshops that truly meet the needs of Union County families.”

Residents are encouraged to take a few minutes to complete the survey online. The link to the survey can be found here: https://forms.gle/hqt9jW84UxvD7bPt9
