The Living Well campaign is being promoted by the Illinois Extension Association of Family and Consumer Sciences (IEAFCS) through local Extension offices.

Educational programs offered by U of I Extension focus on important issues such as making ends meet during tough financial times, making healthy food choices, and choosing a safe, nurturing childcare facility. These programs and many other Extension offerings are designed to improve the quality of life for Illinoisans.

Take time to get acquainted with your local U of I Extension office and the resources available to help you "live well" during every week of your life. For more information, call the Randolph County Extension office at 618-443-4364.
