With the recent wildfires across Texas, the Texas 4-H and Youth Development Program is implementing a plan to collect needed items of firefighters in an effort to assist them during this most critical time.
Later today, we will send an email with more information, but we did want to give you a heads-up of what we are planning.
Items needed include:
- Water
- Gatorade
- Chapstick
- High Protein Snacks (peanut butter and crackers, protein bars, trail mix, etc).
We are going to ask that 4-Hers bring these items to the County Extension Office. From there, we will make a plan for drop-off points for needed areas. With as widespread as these fires are, there will probably be a location close to your office where these items could be dropped off. We will need your help to get them to the appropriate locations, but more information will be coming on this.
An official email will be sent later today, but we did want you to have a heads-up.
Once it is sent, we will also post on Facebook, Twitter, etc., but the most help will be from you. Please forward the information to 4-Hers, club managers, and adult leaders in your county.
