Background: We should all be familiar with the 4-H Pledge. It states “I pledge my hands to larger service.” This cornerstone of our program is to give back to our community.
Situation: With the economic situation in our country, the Howard County Food Pantries are providing more services to more families. This has led to an increase in the need for donations of nonperishable, toiletries and paper goods.
Task: All Howard County 4-H families are being asked to donate nonperishables, toiletries and paper goods to fill the supply at our Howard County Food Pantries.
When: Donate now through July 22, 2011 at the Extension Office OR donate to the 4-H L.E.A.D. Center at the Howard County Fairgrounds during pre-fair and fair week.
Why: Community Service is a cornerstone of our program and we need to do our part to help anyway we can within our community. Every little bit helps!
The Howard County Extension Office is challenging you to donate a “TON!” Monetary donations will also be accepted to purchase items for donation. Thank you in advance for doing your part to uphold our 4-H Pledge in Howard County!
