UW-Extension Family Living Programs enrich families and strengthen communities. Backed by university research, we work for Wisconsin families by:    

• Helping communities respond to issues such as childhood obesity, financial security, and aging.
• Providing leadership for policies that help children, youth and families succeed.
• Increasing knowledge about parenting, health and nutrition.
• Offering consumers and families more strategies for managing their money.
• Reaching out to diverse families with education and resources.
• Using cost effective approaches to reduce negative family issues and build more resilient families.

 UW-Extension and the UW-Madison maintain a Food Safety and Healthy website with food safety and preservation information that is available at: http://www.foodsafety.wisc.edu.    

We invest in people to grow stronger communities. For more information on Family Living Programs, go to http://www.uwex.edu/ces/flp and visit us on Facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/UWExtensionFamilyLiving.
