4-H Apple Fundraiser

Author: Dianna Reed

Planning Unit: Johnson County CES

Major Program: Community Engagement

Plan of Work: Local Club and Council Leadership and Community Service

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

The Adult 4-H Council identified financial support of local 4-H members for events, clubs and activities as a program priority. As a result, the 4-H Council sponsors and Annual 4-H Caramel Apple Fundraiser. Each year for a 2 week period, Extension staff, Council members, volunteers, school personnel and 4-H youth donate their time and efforts to make this fundraiser successful. Young people earn volunteer service hours, and the adults and youth work together tow weeks before and during the Ky, Apple Festival each Fall to facilitate this fundraising effort.  As a result, monies are raised to assist youth with 4-H Camp Fee Discounts, Livestock Club events and State Fair participation and 4-H Teen Club Events, educational Field Trips and UK college visits. This is the 21st year of the fundraiser for the current 4-H Agent, and the previous 4-H Agent helped to facilitate the 32 years prior to that. For 53 years this fundraiser has been an integral part of the funding for local 4-H programming, and the current 4-H Council has already committed to continuing this event next in the Fall of 2024.
