Clermont County 4-H is accepting donations of a family favorite – peanut butter and jelly!  Donations can be dropped off at the Extension Office and will be accepted through November 15.  It is encouraged that individuals donate both a peanut butter and jelly as one donation.  This will allow us to fill food bags with both items.  Please make sure that your donations are not expired or opened and homemade items or pre-made sandwiches will not be accepted  It is very important that jelly and jam donations are in plastic jars and children have to transport the items on the bus or carry them home.

The club that donates the most jars of PB&J will win a pizza party, sponsored by the Clermont County 4-H Committee!  The PB&J Drive is a great way for your club, business or organization to  support the youth in our community.  Get your team together (friends, family, co-workers and neighbors) and help us make November the month of giving!

If you forgot to RSVP for the 4-H Recognition Dinner, contact the office today so we can have an accurate meal count.  Don’t miss out on an evening of fellowship and a delicious dinner (and dessert, of course!).  We are excited to celebrate the accomplishments of our volunteers and youth over the past year!
