4-H FOOD DRIVE CHALLENGE!
It’s Henderson 4-H vs. Knox 4-H vs. McDonough 4-H vs. Warren 4-H in a friendly competition to help give back to our communities!

From October 1 through November 16, each county will be accepting canned goods at their local Extension Office. All donations will go directly to food pantries in their respective counties before Thanksgiving. We encourage our clubs to work together to donate the most canned goods, spices, and nonperishable items to help their county win the contest!

How will we determine the winner?
To make the competition fair between counties of different sizes, we’ll calculate the total number of canned goods collected per 4-H member in each county. The county with the highest percentage will be crowned the winner!

📅 Due: November 16
📍 Drop-off: 4-H Center, Macomb

county with the largest percentage of canned goods collected will be rewarded with Popcorn Party boxes that our members can enjoy at their next club meeting!
Let’s see which county can collect the most and make the biggest impact in their community!

Who’s ready to take the challenge?!
Contact Beth Chatterton at [email protected] with any questions.
*BONUS: This counts as a Unit-Wide Community Service activity.
