Stock the Shelves Food Drive – Can you Help 4-H?
Washington County 4-H will be competing for $26,000 in awards for the 2025 Nonprofit Challenge sponsored by the Marietta Community Foundation and Superior Toyota.
Here is how is will work:
- Donations can be dropped off to the OSU Extension Office
- We will earn 1 Point for each non-perishable food item (ex. peanut butter, canned goods, cereal, etc)
- We will earn 2 Points for each persona care item (ex. shampoo, diapers, etc)
