Marshall County Homemakers provide a support network and recognizable leadership. Members learn far-reaching teaching strategies through monthly learning sessions and club meetings. Leaders then teach hands-on programs in parenting, literacy, health, clothing, home environment, and household management. The Family Literacy program has benefited from $6500 in books and reading resources given by Extension Homemakers to the Marshall County Pre-School Head Start program over the past nine years. As a result, families report increased reading activities in homes and schools. At the Homemakers’ state meeting, Marshall County Homemakers were recognized for contributing more than 154,017 hours in teaching activities and community service over the past two years, valued at over $3,000,000 ($20.85 an hour).
