The Chatham County Extension Master Food Volunteer (EMFV) program offers residents a meaningful way to support local N.C. Cooperative Extension programs centered on nutrition, cooking, food safety, and local food systems. EMFVs work alongside Extension staff to strengthen community outreach and help bring practical, evidence-based education to people across the county.
