Missouri Families
About Us
MissouriFamilies provides unbiased, research-based solutions for better living. Beginning with the basics—food, clothing, shelter, finances, family and community—we concentrate on providing scientific solutions for contemporary challenges in human lives.
Our far-reaching realm of expertise includes family financial education, designs for living and working environments, human development, nutrition and wellness, and community support systems.
MissouriFamilies is provided by University of Missouri Extension, a partnership of the University of Missouri campuses; Lincoln University; the people of Missouri through county extension councils; and the Cooperative State Research, Education and Extension Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
