They made these contacts in partnership with more than 1,100 community-based agencies. In Waushara County, Extension developed monthly fact sheets with tips on preparing foods available from commodity food distribution centers. Seventy-five percent reported that the lesson s fact sheet was a helpful reference for packing lunches in the future. They found that 38 percent of at-risk households face some level of food insecurity. Plans for dealing with the implications of these findings are in process, and the results continue to raise public awareness through local media.
