This year’s National 4-H Week is Oct. 4-10. The theme is Opportunity4All, a campaign that was created by National 4-H Council to rally support for Cooperative Extension’s 4-H program and identify solutions to eliminate the opportunity gap that affects 55 million kids across America.
Wednesday, Oct. 7, is National 4-H Spirit Day. On this special day, share your 4-H pride by wearing your favorite 4-H t-shirt or representing the 4-H clover at school, extracurricular activities or work. This is your day to go all GREEN!
Oklahoma County 4-H Officers will be reading a proclamation at the courthouse to commemorate 4-H Month in October. This month, we will kick off our Fall Service Project, H.U.G.S. (Hats, Underwear, Gloves, and Socks). We will be collecting these new clothing items across the county, with donation boxes at the County Courthouse and the Extension Office. You can even make your own donation box and ask your church, school, friends, and families to donate! Turn in your donations to the Extension Office by November 6th.
Donations for kids sizes will go to
Citizens Caring for Children, an organization that provides clothing and other necessities for foster families in Oklahoma. Adult items will be donated to
The Homeless Alliance, and organization that provides opportunities for advancement to the housing insecure people of Oklahoma.
