Family and Consumer Sciences Program
Raising
Kids, Eating Right, Spending Smart, Living Well
NEAFCS-National
Extension Association of Family & Consumer Sciences is the Proud
Sponsor of the Living Well Public Service Campaign
OSU Extension Helps Area Residents to “Live Well”. Raising kids, eating right, spending smart, living well – that’s the theme of a national Living Well campaign being promoted by Family and Consumer Sciences Educators, both at the national level and here in Ohio. The goal of the Living Well Campaign is to provide people with the education and information they need in order to “live well.” OSU Extension Family and Consumer Sciences Educators work through Ohio State University Extension to offer all kinds of information that will help families achieve a positive, healthy lifestyle. Whether you are trying to lose weight through meal planning and exercise, save money for retirement, or balance work and family responsibilities, Extension probably has the answer. March 11-17 is national Extension Living Well Week, and it’s a good time to get better acquainted with your Union County Extension Office. Explore this website or visit OSU Extension online to learn more http://extension.osu.edu/. Do you want to improve the lives of each of your family members? Extension Family and Consumer Sciences can help you reach your destination! We encourage the development of families and individuals and foster their interaction with the environment.
