4H Food Drive

Hi Everyone!

Happy National 4-H Week!  The 5th annual Massachusetts 4-H Food Drive begins this week!!!! Our goal is 30,000 pounds!  We are asking you to get involved!

To increase food collection this year, we are asking that clubs arrange to do collection days at an area supermarket or work with a bank, library, or local business to place a collection bin in their establishment for some or all of the Food Drive. Many clubs have done this in past years and have collected a lot of food in a single day! It's NOT too late to ARRANGE A COLLECTION DAY WITH A STORE! The food drive is just around the corner!

Since success is enhanced by publicity, it's a good idea to announce any collection locations with the help of your local newspaper. If you need help writing an article for your town paper, you can email Cindy at mass4hsupport@verizon.net. PLEASE let us know of collection locations, and we'll try to get them listed on the 4-H website!

We have additional green bins you can use at collection locations, so ask your educator for one!

A lot of people need our support. Help us to make this the most successful 4-H Food Drive so far!

If you have questions, problems, or need assistance please email Cindy Trahan Liptak, 4-H Community Service Coordinator, at mass4hsupport@verizon.net.
