4H Food Drive

4-H Volunteers and Club Leaders,

 

A reminder that the annual Plymouth County 4-H Food Drive has started!  Your clubs should be actively collecting food now.  There are 4-H Food Drive bags avalible at the Plymouth County Extension Office and East Middleboro 4-H Clubhouse.  Please let me know if you need more for your club.  Dontation boxes have been placed around the county and several clubs are going to be collecting at community events and local grocery stores.  Please let me know when and where your club will be collecting. 

 

We would like 100% participation in this event, please make every effort to try and collect something to contribute to this important cause.  All food must be collected by November 21 at the Extension Office or East Middleboro Clubhouse.  We will be making donations to several pantries in Plymouth County, if you have a local pantry who you like to see food go to, please let me know.  In past years, we have collected nearly 5,000 pounds of food, let's try to make 2011 the best year yet!

 

For every 4-H'er, volunteer and friend of 4-H who collects food for this drive, they will get a reusable 4-H grocery bag as our thanks.  I have them here at the Extension Office, please let me know how many you would like once you have collected.

 

 

Again if you have any questions please let me know.

 

Thanks for all your participation and support.

On Saturday, November 5, 2011, Plymouth County 4H is hosting a FUNDRAISER. Since the location is very reasonably priced, and the entertainment has been donated by supporters, 100% of the proceeds go directly to the County Extension Agent to be spent on 4H!!!

 

So, How can we all help?

 

• Buy a ticket, buy four and come with your partner and your favorite friends.
• Bring an appetizer or a dessert, already to pick up type finger food for everyone to share. (Bring one "batch") Let Molly know if you think you might be bringing something!
• Contact Molly to be a helper for set up.
• Contact Priscilla McGilvray 781-733-6894 to help with the auction or with clean up at the end of the night.

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.

Date Correction

My apologies on getting the date for the next meeting wrong.  It is, of course, Monday Oct 10, not Oct 8 as previously posted.  Mrs. Peavey will have the enrollment forms for the coming year available at that time, so you don't want to miss it.  See you then!
