We will be collecting donations for Blessings in a Backpack as our annual service project.

Donations may be:
- Dropped off at the Extension Office Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
- Coordinate after-hour donations through the office or your club leaders
- Brought to the 2026 Armstrong County 4-H Achievement Banquet

Donations will be accepted through Friday, October 23.

The organization's preferred donation item is canned pasta with pop-top lids, which provides an easy-to-open meal option for children and families.

If every member and volunteer donates 1 can, that would be a carload of donations and over 250 meals for children in our community!

Thank you for helping us support this important program and make a difference in our community. If you have any questions, please contact the Extension Office.
