Community Service Idea

Is your 4-H club looking for a community service project?

Read this brief letter and decide if your club might like to help.

The project organizers are 4-H members in Guilford County.


Dear friends and family,

I am working with my sister, Mia, on an incredible project called Seeds of Hope to help others who really need it. We want to plant seeds of hope in the lives of others through the World Vision Animal and Agriculture fund. We both would really appreciate any and all help you could give us!

Did you know nearly 30,000 children die every day, most from hunger or preventable diseases?

Seeds of Hope provides the opportunity to help children and families around the world who are in desperate need. Your gift will provide hardworking families with livestock or farming tools that can put food on the table. Please join us by donating, so that we can bring life-changing help and hope to others.

This is a wonderful way to express your support for the world's poor. Thank you for your support!
