On Tuesday, May 13th, 2025 eight 4H groups from St. Joseph County delivered nonperishable items to the Centreville FFA building at the Centreville High School. St. Joseph County Farm Bureau volunteers count and weigh all donations and awards points for the items according to need. The 3 clubs with the highest total points are our winners. Food Pantries are always in need of non-perishable food and toiletry items. This is the 21st year for this project and the St. Joseph 4H Clubs always represent the county well. Not only do the 4H members gain the satisfaction of helping those in need, but the top three 4H clubs are awarded monetary prizes and the 1st place club will have their club's name on the plaque that hangs in the MSU Extension Office!
A total of 953 items and 834 pounds of food & other items were collected this year!
As always a HUGE thank you goes out to the clubs that participated this year.
All items donated were delivered to the Mendon Food Pantry by the Centreville FFA.
