The NEW Cooperative Foundation continues its commitment to supporting local 4-H youth. Recently, the Foundation donated $94,520 to 35 county extension and outreach offices, which will support 4,929 individual 4-H members.
The contribution from the Foundation pays for half of each 4-H member’s dues in NEW Cooperative’s trade territory counties, which includes the following: Calhoun, Carroll, Cherokee, Crawford, Greene, Franklin, Hamilton, Humboldt, Kossuth, Monona, Plymouth, Pocahontas, Sac, Webster, Woodbury, Wright, Hancock, Cerro Gordo, Emmet, Dickinson, Palo Alto, Clay, Cass, Warren, Montgomery, Adams, Union, Clarke, Lucas, Fremont, Page, Taylor, Ringgold, Decatur, and Wayne.
“NEW Cooperative takes great pride in supporting its area youth 4-H programs. We strongly feel that 4-H helps youth build the necessary foundation to become future leaders in our local communities,” stated Gary Moritz, NEW Cooperative communication director.
