Click here to learn about the 4-H Summer Community Service Workshops being help June 7th, 8th, and 9th from 9:00 to 3:30.
Cass County is a service-at-heart county and Cass County 4-Hers have something valid to offer! With their unique talents and perspectives and using what they learn through 4-H, they are becoming service leaders in our community. Cass County 4-H’ers use their heads, hands, and hearts while thinking about the health of others, and make numerous items for the Care and Share program. They’ve made: Quilt tops for Quilts of Valor and Quilt Quest, soup jars and meals-in-a-jar for hungry people, teddy bears for emergency services, pillow case dresses for children in Africa, fleece scarves and mittens, pillow cases….the list goes on and on. The items the 4-Hers make and assemble can be entered in the county fair, and later delivered to Cass County Emergency Services or given to a recipient of the 4-Hers' choice.
Funding comes from the county fair silent quilt auction and the cake auction. Donations of pint and quart jars, canning rings, jar lids, and/or fabric (cotton, cotton/polyester blends), quilt panels, and/or batting are always appreciated. Volunteers are needed to long arm quilt or machine quilt, bind or tie the quilts.
