The extension homemakers’ mission is to strengthen families through continuing education, leadership development, and volunteer community support. There are over 250 members in 20 different clubs throughout Kosciusko County. They meet once a month to learn something new, give back to their community, and to have fun with friends. Our current members range in age from early 20’s to late 90’s. Everyone is welcome.
