Three Western Kentucky UK Extension Family and Consumer Science agents were recently recognized nationally for their efforts to reach consumers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Cecelia Hostillo from Trigg County, Jill Harris from Todd County, and Lyon County’s Angie York were honored by the National Extension Association for Family and Consumer Sciences for the “What’s In Your Pantry”. Hostillo says the honor was the result of their partnership in 2020 to continue reaching consumers after in-person meetings were curtailed due to the pandemic.
