Every year the Green Valley 4-H Club does several community service projects. During the holiday months, community service projects involve bell ringing for the Salvation Army, Giving Tree Gift Giving and providing food to a needy family.
At their November meeting, all members brought canned and dried goods to put together a giant food basket for a needy family in Sonoma County. The week of Thanksgiving they went on shopping trip to buy fresh items to include; such as a turkey, milk, butter and bread. Then they delivered all of the items to the family.
Club members also received Giving Tree hearts at the meeting. The Sonoma County Community Foundation organizes this activity and every year club members each take a heart to fulfill the wishes on the heart. Each heart represents a person and it lists their age and their wishes. Wrapped gifts are brought to the December meeting so that they can be distributed before Christmas.
The Green Valley 4-H will also be bell ringing at the Wal-Mart in Windsor on the weekends throughout the holiday season. Stop by and say hello.
