Community Service is a critical and valuable component of 4-H. Almost 100% of 4-H clubs complete a club community service project throughout the year in a variety of ways ranging from Highway clean up to packaging meals to raking leaves for the elderly to sponsoring needy families for the holidays. A competitive Club Community Service Award is offered through an application process. The Bows and Bullets 4-H Club was recognized with this honor with partnership and adoption of Parkview Nursing Home. They have visited the residents multiple times for pumpkin delivery, ornament making, and summer game time. Members were present to receive the $50 award that goes towards their next community service project. For more information on how to get involved with the 4-H program as a member, volunteer, or sponsor, please contact Amy at the Washington County Extension Office at 319-653-4811.
