Dear Community, friends, family, volunteers and youth of Allen County

Due to federal cuts, I just wanted to let my community, friends, and family know that my last day at the Allen County Cooperative Extension Office will be September 30th, 2025. I want to thank everyone who has been a part of my journey for the last 10 ½ years. I truly love my job and enjoy going to work each day. We have shared some laughs, tears, and important moments in our lives. We have prayed together and for one another. We have tried new foods by taking the hello bite. All of these moments I will cherish forever. I want you to know that you will always have a special place in my heart. I am eternally grateful for the wonderful work family, community, and friends that I have made over the past 10 ½ years. I am so blessed that Allen County is my home, and it will always be my home. Please come by the office on September 24th, 2025, from 1 til 4 pm. I would love to see everyone before I go.
