4-H Goes to McKitrick School for Christmas Gift Wrapping

Eagle Hills Multiple 4-H Club has volunteered at McKitrick Community School’s annual Christmas Store for several years.

At this event, kids would go in line to go shopping for their friends, family or more. At the front of the line, there is a person who asks the kids who they are shopping for. They prepare the list of names on a paper. They find gifts of the people on their list and bring it to the table where they will get their presents wrapped by the 4-H club.

This year, the 4-H members and families wanted to give back even more to the school and the schoolchildren. Eagle Hills Multiple 4-H Club members were awarded a #RisingYouth Community Service Grant.

#RisingYouth is a program led by TakingITGlobal to help youth build Canada and develop life skills be giving back to their communities. Created for youth by youth, we are building a program to increase involvement through community service.
