The Kay County Extension Office cares about the health and well-being of our community. We are pleased to announce that our office is now a Red Pantry location!

Kay County Extension Office

Signage has been placed outside the designated restroom to help visitors easily locate the Red Pantry.

Thank you to Living Hope Pregnancy Center for partnering with us to help meet this important need in northern Kay County and to the Community Health Foundation for supporting the expansion of the Red Pantry project.
