4-Her’s Lend a Hand

Author: Heather Coleman

Planning Unit: Floyd County CES

Major Program: Flood Relief & Recovery

Plan of Work: Unrelated to a specified County Plan of Work

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

During the end of July 2022 many Eastern Kentucky counties were hit hard with devastating flooding.  During this time Kentucky did what we always do.  We came together to help one another out during a time of need. But we were not the only one. Volunteers from all over the US came to help when we needed it.  One Tennessee Home School Club, having a connection to East Kentucky reached out to Floyd County 4-H.  They ask what they could do to help.  We put them in contact with a local church; Martin Church of Christ.  The Pastor and his wife are a part of the Extension Family and where happy to host the TN 4-H Club.   The Smokey Mountain 4-H Club consisted 6 youth members and 4 adult volunteers, who worked to clean out 5 homes in Floyd Co. and 2 homes in Knott Co. Joyce Mitchell said, “They were one of the best groups to volunteer to help with the cleanup.”  Once someone becomes a 4-Her, they become part of a family. No matter where they are from.
