What Are Homemakers?
Homemakers seek to strengthen home, family and community through educational programs, leadership opportunities and community volunteer service projects throughout Kentucky. Organized in 1932 to originally unite women throughout rural Kentucky, membership now includes over 20,000 people. Educational support is provided by the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service and the state Family and Consumer Sciences Extension Program. Each county has a local organization to support members in developing topics for learning, leadership opportunities and local community service projects.
