DeKalb 4-H Participates in Cans Hunger Food Drive

DeKalb 4-H is joining the Revolution of Responsibility by banding together to fight hunger! The Georgia 4-H Southwest District is facilitating the “One Million Begins with One: Georgia 4-H Cans Hunger”, a statewide community service project that will shake our nation and give a voice to those who have none. This is a new statewide community service project to help stop hunger in our beloved counties! By gathering canned goods for homeless shelters, Christian Kitchens and food banks stationed all over the state, we make valid our “hands to larger service”. Georgia 4-H's goal is 10,000 cans distributed in the state by 4-H State Council in June, 2012. Join our fight and help us show the world what DeKalb 4-H stands for: Head – Heart – Hands – Health! Please help our efforts by contributing. For more information or to participate, see the documents below:

Can food donations will be accepted at DeKalb Cooperative Extension Office now through the end of the year.
