Did you know that small changes around the house can lead to big improvements in your family’s health, comfort, and utility bills?

Led by our Jones & Onslow County Family & Consumer Science Agent, Sarah Ware, join us for a practical, eye-opening workshop focused on how to create a healthy, energy-efficient, and well-maintained home, no major renovation or expensive equipment required.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Where homes typically lose energy (and money) without you realizing it

  • How to identify hidden risks that could affect your health

  • Tips for improving indoor air quality and ventilation

  • How to reduce allergens, pests, and moisture issues

  • Simple steps to protect your home’s systems and safety

Why It Matters:

Whether you rent or own, your home plays a major role in your family’s well-being. This class will equip you with the tools and knowledge to make meaningful improvements, without overwhelming you.

Who Should Attend:

  • First-time homeowners

  • Renters interested in healthier spaces

  • Parents or caregivers of young children

  • Anyone looking to improve comfort, safety, or energy savings

You’ll leave with a seasonal maintenance checklist, a better understanding of your home’s systems, and the confidence to take action.
