Urgent: Help Us Support Jefferson County Extension

We hope this message finds you well.

We are reaching out to share an urgent and important update regarding the Jefferson County Extension, a vital community resource dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for our residents through educational programs in agriculture, gardening, 4-H, Family and Consumer Science and community development.

Recently, Jefferson County Extension experienced a significant setback: a 46% reduction in its funding from Metro Louisville. This drastic cut jeopardizes their ability to deliver crucial programs and services that benefit many of us in the community.

Why This Matters

The Jefferson County Extension plays a pivotal role in our community by providing valuable resources and support, including:

• Educational workshops on sustainable agriculture and gardening.
• Support for local farmers and small businesses.
• Community outreach programs that enhance local quality of life.
• 4-H programs for the community.

Without adequate funding, these programs are at risk, and the community could lose access to essential services that promote growth and learning.

How You Can Help

We are reaching out to you to request your support in helping the Jefferson County Extension bridge this significant funding gap. Your contribution will make a tangible difference by:

• Supporting ongoing educational programs and community services.
• Ensuring the continuation of vital workshops and resources.
• Strengthening our community’s capacity for growth and resilience.
