4-H and Washington County Extension hosting fall food drive Nov. 4

The 4-H and ISU Extension and Outreach hope to build a strong Iowa and give back to the communities among Washington County and make a positive and healthy impact on those who experience food needs. In honor of Washington County Extensions' 100th birthday this year, they have set a goal to package 100 meals.

The goal is to collect, package and deliver certain food items to HACAP that will prepare a healthy meal 'Chicken Enchilada Bake” from ISU Healthy and Homemade Cookbook.

4-H Club members are asked to please bring ingredients as assigned below to 4-H Awards Night Nov. 4. This is an opportunity to give to others who are experiencing a time of need. Every food item donated will earn one raffle ticket for the 4-H gifts given at the end of Awards Night. Guests are encouraged to bring more than listed below in order to be able to pack that many more meals.
