Serving our community looks a lot like this! 💚🍪

A few of our Wayne County Extension & Community Association (ECA) members volunteered their time at the Wayne Regional Agricultural Fair to support the Cookies for Change fundraiser. Their willingness to lend a helping hand is just one example of the many ways ECA members stay connected and give back to our community.

Thank you to our ECA volunteers for helping make this event a success!

Yesterday, our ECA members gathered for their annual Ice Cream Social 🍦 —a sweet tradition that brings everyone together to reconnect, plan for the year ahead, and celebrate the impact of our organization.

The group also assembled 34 personal supply baskets for the teachers at Tommy's Road Elementary as a small way to show appreciation and support before the new school year begins.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this event meaningful. We’re looking forward to another great year with ECA!

Keeping Our Plates Safe: What to Know About the Current Cyclospora Outbreak

Summer is the peak season for fresh, vibrant produce—from crisp salads to sweet berries. As we enjoy our favorite seasonal foods, public health agencies are currently tracking a rise in cases of a foodborne illness called cyclosporiasis, caused by the microscopic parasite Cyclospora. It is important to remember that while this parasite can cause uncomfortable stomach symptoms, it is not life-threatening and is easily treated with standard antibiotics. Because Cyclospora is typically found on raw fruits and vegetables, keeping ourselves safe is mostly about practicing good food hygiene. By taking a few simple, everyday precautions in our kitchens, we can continue to enjoy our fresh summer meals with peace of mind. Below are the visuals on how to identify potential sources, understand the symptoms, and follow simple washing steps to protect your family:

A true labor of love. 🧵❤️

Throughout the year, the ladies of Town & Country ECA dedicated their time, talents, and hearts through community service sewing sessions, creating 85 beautifully handmade dresses for children in need. Along with their sewing efforts, they also collected 142 pairs of underwear and 20 pairs of shorts.

These gifts of love will be donated to Stoney Creek Church to support their upcoming mission trip to Belize.
