We Need Your Help

Happy Summer!

We realize we are midway in our Summer vacations and thinking about back to school.  We have two unique opportunities for you to give back to the community if you can find the time.  Knowing our 4-H members they probably have a few minutes to help out with this one.

First we need books for our lending library.  If you are doing a cleanup at home and happen to have books you would like to donate we would love to have them.  We are looking for gently used books for all ages.  Younger readers tend to get from our library more than others but we would love books for everyone.  Since March we have had more than 150 books picked up from our library.  We have also had 70 books donated in that same time frame.  However we are starting to run short and would love some to support our lending library.  Having youth read from an early age helps battle illiteracy and we love that our youth came up with this idea to make reading fun and affordable.

Second Young Leaders 4-H Club has partnered with Covenant Worship Center & New Beginnings Church  to help collect school supplies for a community back to school event on August 1.  The list of items they are looking for includes:

• #2 Pencils
• Blue or Black Ink Pens
• Highlighters
• Crayons or Colored Pencils
• Washable Markers
• Pink Easers or Pencil Top Erasers
• Spiral Notebooks
• Loose-Leaf Notebook Paper
• Pocket Folders
• Index Cards
• Pencil Boxes or Zippered Pencil Pouches
• Glue Sticks
• Blunt-Tip or Pointed Scissors

To donate just drop off the items at our office.  We will have two specifically labeled boxes in the lobby and you can just run in and leave them there.  Of course if you would like us to know who is dropping off, let Jessica at the front desk know and if we are here (you know summer is a busy time for us) we will come out and thank you in person for your generosity.  If we are not here just let Jessica know you were here so we can give you a call, shoot you a text, or give you a big shout out.  You know how much we love seeing our 4-H Families.

Thank you in advance for any of these things you can help with,

Jade and Shea Ann
