Welcome to Kentucky Family Policy
This blog is dedicated to examining issues facing the Commonwealth of Kentucky and providing a nonpartisan, family perspective on public policy making. We hope to provide a forum for Kentuckians to review and discuss current legislative actions and the issues such actions are attempting to address. The opinions expressed herein belong solely to the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the University of Kentucky, its affiliates, or its representatives.

2) Describe Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service programs and activities currently addressing issues related to legilative actions in the various counties.
3) Provide expert commentaries via podcasts and videocasts on issues relevant to current legilative actions.

The Lewis County Family and Consumer Sciences Agent provides leadership for the Master Clothing Volunteer program. In 2008, two people participated in the extensive master clothing volunteer program. Now, four active master clothing volunteers in Lewis County completed over 100 hours of volunteer hours, including teaching an after-school class for eight youth. The biggest community service project begins months in advance with the collection of fabric and supplies that are made into useful kits that facilitate sewing. This year the week-long sewing event yielded 120 pillowcases, 49 tote bags, 115 aprons and bibs, 28 walker caddies, and 24 wheelchair caddies. Twenty-seven volunteers helped make the 336 items, which were donated to two home-healthcare centers and a local nursing home in Lewis County.
