Home & Community Education

The Escambia County Association of Home and Community Education (HCE) helps strengthen families by offering programs in leadership and lifelong learning. The program encourages citizens to take part in public decisions about issues that affect children and families, and it supports the power of volunteer work. HCE also helps and supports Escambia County Family & Consumer Sciences programs.

Food Safety & Preservation

Food preservation helps keep food safe and free from contamination. The main ways to preserve food are canning, freezing, and drying. All of these methods help make sure the food is safe to eat, so choose the one that works best for you. Information on freezing and canning is available from the Escambia County Extension office.
