Our ECA ladies gathered again this year for another meaningful time of fellowship, service, and giving back! ❤️🎁

After their regular calendar meeting, members came together to pack 50 shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child, filling each one with thoughtful gifts to share love, joy, and hope with children around the world.

This project reflects the heart of ECA—bringing members together to make a difference in our communities and beyond. We’re grateful for the time, care, and generosity our members continue to pour into meaningful causes like this one.

And speaking of ECA, don’t forget to mark your calendars for the ECA Christmas Bazaar on November 21st, from 10:00 - 4:00! 🎄🛍️ We look forward to celebrating the season with our community soon!

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:
