4-H CLUB SUPPLIES & DONATIONS
Sometimes the Pope/Hardin Extension office receives donated items. If you are looking for club supplies contact either office at (618)287-8673 or (618) 683-8555.
Each year HEA ladies of Pope & Hardin counties provide a financial donation to 4-H for activities throughout the year. This money has been used to help pay for camp or other special activities. If your 4-H club has a special event for which they need financial assistance, please call.
Be sure to thank the Pope & Hardin Counties HEA members you might know for their continued 4-H support!
