The 4-H Pledge includes pledging "...our hands to larger service for our club, community, country, and our world." Join Wood County 4-H members and their families for our inaugural day of service where we will come together for a shared purpose of making a difference.

This day was made possible through a generous donation by a local family wishing to remain anonymous, plus funds from the Bowling Green Kiwanis Club, and numerous other monetary and in-kind donors! 

The day will be an open house event so come anytime in the afternoon of April 6 and stay as long as you'd like. The two projects that required prior sign up,  Let's Build and Kids Coalition Against Hunger, are full! Thank you! There is plenty of goodwill to spread among our other very worthy hands-on projects.

Community projects include:

• Building headboards and bed rails for 30 beds for Let's Build
• Packaging 10,000 meals for Kids Coalition Against Hunger
• Stuffing and sewing pillows for Hospice of Northwest Ohio
• Creating “Senior Smiles” crafts and cards for the Wood County Committee on Aging
• Making greeting cards for Flag City Honor Flight
• Assembling dog treats and toys for Wood County Humane Society and the Wood County Dog Shelter
• Planting and decorating flowerpots for area nursing homes/senior citizen centers
• Completing improvement projects for the Wood County Agricultural Society

All are welcome to participant and put your hands to larger service anytime throughout the day! If you are a 4-H alum or do not live near the event, we encourage you to do an act of service on April 6. Or, support Wood County 4-H in another way!
