Thank you for being a GREAT supporter of Merrick County 4-H. In 2023, we had 278 members and 62 volunteers enrolled to “Grow 4-H”! We are well on our way to exceeding that number in 2024. It is exciting to be a part of making 4-H a year-round program teaching life skills and helping youth become confident, caring and contributing citizens of good character.
4-H dues do not have to be charged in our county because there is so much support from 4-H families, county businesses and organizations. If you would like to contribute financially to Merrick County 4-H, and keep it free to join, there is a streamlined process to give three different ways. The three (3) ways you can donate to 4-H include:
- Pancake Feed on Thursday, March 21st
- Placing a Premium Ad in the Fairbook by March 15th
- Sponsoring a 2024 county award
- DONATE HERE
A fourth way you can contribute is through GO BIG GIVE on May 2nd. Watch for details on this closer to May and think about whom you would like to honor with your donation or give a memorial.
