The NEW Cooperative Foundation continued its support of local 4-H youth recently by donating $52,020 to 22 county extension and outreach offices, which will support 3,468 individual 4-H members.
The contribution from the foundation will pay for half of each 4-H member's dues in NEW Cooperative's trade territory counties, which includes Clay County.
"NEW Cooperative takes great pride in supporting our area youth 4-H programs," said communications director Gary Moritz in a news release. "We strongly believe that 4-H helps youth develop practical knowledge while empowering them with the skills to lead for a lifetime."
