Extension Homemakers is an education and service program to improve the quality of life for ourselves and our families.
Homemakers clubs are a terrific place to make new friends, learn new skills and experience unlimited personal growth!
As a Homemaker, you can:
- Make: Every month we discuss cutting-edge issues in foods, health, relationships, consumer protection, crafts and technology. Homemakers love to learn new skills at monthly meetings and other Extension workshops and programs.
- Belong: make new friends to explore and share community issues, family life, international and diversity awareness, environmental issues, and healthy homes.
- Serve: Make a difference in our community by sharing knowledge and talents, honoring veterans, helping the homeless, assisting nursing home residents and other projects. Volunteer hours by Homemakers make a big difference in our community!

Want to go green as you clean? Reduce exposure to harsh chemicals and opt for safer, more natural cleaning methods for your home. By swapping your cleaning products with common household staples, such as white vinegar, lemon juice, baking soda and salt, you can effectively clean your home while also improving the environment and reducing waste.
