Terrebonne 4-H members….. You should be proud!!! There were many

community service projects that took place before Christmas and it

was heart warming to see all the items and time that you donated. Remember,

community service is doing something for someone without expecting anything

in return. Points were not given to school clubs or individually for the blanket

drive, toy drive or military items.

- Over 90 Blankets were donated to the Southeast Louisiana War Veterans

Home in Reserve, Louisiana

- 50 boxes were packed for our military men and women

- A car load of toys (and a $200 donation from St. Matthew’s 4-H) were

brought to the National Guard Office in Baton Rouge

Terrebonne 4-H members are AWESOME!!!
