Help spread joy in our community, because everyone deserves to celebrate life's special moments! Newton County 4-H is partnering with a local food bank to provide Celebration Cake Boxes that help families celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, accomplishments, and everyday victories.
We encourage every Newton County 4-H family to build and donate at least one complete Celebration Cake Box. A single box can help create a meaningful celebration for a family who may not otherwise have the opportunity. By working together, Newton County 4-H can make a big impact and bring a little extra joy to our community.
Hard times shouldn't prevent families from celebrating life's milestones. Thank you for helping us make more celebrations possible, one cake box at a time! Every 4-H'er in a family that donates a completed Celebration Cake Box will earn 5 Involved Incentive Points. ππ°π
Completed Celebration Cake Boxes are due by October 24th.
