About 

The Bourbon County Homemakers and the Bourbon County Nutrition Education Program is working to reduce hunger for children in our county. Our program purchases and distributes food to the Paris and Bourbon County Resource Centers. The food is packed in a small bag and dropped into the children's backpack at the end of each week.

If you would like to participate in the program, please feel free to make a donation from the items listed below!  Monetary donations are also welcome and checks should be made payable to the Bourbon County Backpack Program. Items or monetary donations may be dropped of at the Bourbon County Extension Office between the hours of 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
