Major Program: Community Vitality and Leadership – 4-H Youth Development
Plan of Work: Nutrition and Food Systems
Outcome: Intermediate Outcome
4th Grade 4-H members at Stanton Elementary School identified a need for other students, families and even pets in the community to have access to a well-balanced meal, and food security over the upcoming holiday break. After identifying these needs, 4-H club members organized a "Holiday Food Drive for People and Pets". The members designed a flyer to promote their food drive, and developed a plan to collect things from a variety of food groups through the program.
Club members tasked each grade at the school (K-5) to collect a different food item. 4-H members also worked with the Parent-Teacher Association to deliver the food to a local food bank and the Powell County Animal Shelter.
Over 400 food items were collected by the members in 2 weeks. This service learning project was a wonderful way for 4th grade students to "give back" to their community and include the whole school. The current 4th grade students hope that 4-H school clubs after them continue this project annually at Stanton Elementary.
