This year’s 4-H state theme is “Hungry to Help.” Recently Gabrielle Clark (right), 4-H county council president, presented Carol Newton of Thermal Belt Outreach Ministries (left), with over 350 bags and cans of food. Clark stated, “With the help of the community during our 4-H BBQ supper we were able to collect this food.” In future projects Polk 4-H will be helping Tryon First Baptist with “Fields of Hope,” planting and harvesting potatoes to continue helping with hunger issues.
