In the spirit of Christmas and 4-H we had the opportunity to carry on a tradition this year of giving back to our community. As part of the County 4-H Youth Achievement night each youth brought a new toy to be donated to a child in the foster care program. The toys ranged from baby dolls to video games and our tree looked like it was going to be a great Christmas for everyone. Above members from our two clubs of the year, "Dirty Rascals" Junior Master Gardeners, and the Horsin' Around Horse club, helped collect all the toys that were donated and carried them over to the Foster Care Program. Vanessa Moore accepted the donation on behalf of the foster care program, and she said this year even more than ever donations were needed to try to serve all the families in the foster care program.
this is just one of the many ways our 4-H members give back to our community. If you would like more information on the 4-H community service projects just give Aggie Rogers, 4-H Program Associate or Shea Ann DeJarnette, 4-H Extension Agent, a call at the 4-H office, (910) 671-3276.
