Extension Homemakers are partners with the University of Maine Cooperative Extension. We extend adult education into home and community in the areas of food safety, nutrition and health, gardening, cultural and creative arts, financial planning and going green. Individual groups have community service projects for veterans, families in need, donating to food cupboards, shelters and fundraising for various charities. The county project is “Showers for Animal Shelters”. All year, we will volunteer, donate various items, money and energy to our local animal shelter. The following Somerset County Extension Homemakers will have fund-raising and fun activities to benefit the animal shelters.

The following programs are set.
