Liberty County 4-H Youth Gets Boost

LIBERTY, October 20, 2010 - Today, the Tractor Supply Company (TSC) store in Liberty joined 4-H in support of local youth with the 4-H TSC Paper Clover Campaign, a national in-store fundraising effort to benefit state and local 4-H programming in each of the communities where a Tractor Supply Company store is located.

According to County Extension Agent Alexis Cordova, “Tractor Supply continues to be an excellent partner in our efforts to drive local support of, and community involvement in, 4-H programs throughout Liberty County.”

The success of last spring’s campaign spurred TSC’s continued support of the community fundraising event. Beginning Friday, Nov. 5, through Sunday, Nov. 14, shoppers at the Liberty Tractor Supply Company will have the opportunity to support 4-H in Liberty County by purchasing paper clovers for just $1 at checkout. All funds raised through this local 4-H TSC Paper Clover Campaign will be donated to 4-H, and will support local camps, after-school programs and other 4-H youth development
program activities in Liberty County.

“We are excited to begin our fall Paper Clover Campaign with the tremendous support of Tractor Supply Company again this year,” said Donald T. Floyd Jr., president and CEO of National 4-H Council. “Their partnership in the Paper Clover Campaign will help provide funding to 4-H in more than 900 Tractor Supply Company communities across the nation, allowing youth to explore interests in everything from animal science to robotics.”

4-H is a community of six million young people across America learning leadership, citizenship, and life skills. National 4-H Council is the private sector, non-profit partner of 4-H National Headquarters located at the National Institute for Food and Agriculture (NIFA) within USDA. The 4-H programs are implemented by the 109 Land Grant Universities and the Cooperative Extension System through their 3,100 local Extension offices across the country.
