Here's a few notes for this year's Spring Paper Clover season:
  1. Double your donation! When customers use their TSC credit card the amount they donate will be matched by Citibank. Please note that the match amount will not be tracked to the store, so this will go to the state.
  2. Donate Online! Customers can now donate online when they make a purchase. The donated funds will be credited to the state the order ships to.
  3. In-person visits to the Tractor Supply Stores are fine, so reach out to your local store to visit April 27-May 8. Every Paper Clover sold in Ventura County gets credited to Ventura County 4-H.
