The Boone County Extension Homemakers love helping our local communities and with that comes opportunities for our community members to help the BCEH fill that goal. 

Each year the BCEH holds events and more where the public can join in on the fun to help the BCEH meet their giving back goals. If you are looking for opportunities to give back to the community or need service hours we would love to work with you.
