Cases 4 a Cause
Thank you to all 4-H'ers and volunteers who assisted us with this project for The Haven! They were very excited to take 22 suitcases filled with personal care items for their clients moving out of the shelter.


Collect Those Pop Tabs!

Lowndes County 4-H collects pop tabs to benefit Ronald McDonald Houses in Georgia and the families they serve. Take your pop tab collections to your club meetings for a friendly competition!

All 4-H Clubs compete to see which club collects the most pop tabs. The competition begins in August and runs through May. The club collecting the most pop tabs will receive a special treat.

To date, Georgia 4-H has donated millions of pop tabs for recycling resulting in over $50,000 in funds for RMH Charities! Way to go Georgia 4-H!
