Special to The Leader

Orange County 4-H would like to ask everyone to join us in our efforts to help Louisiana flood victims, by collecting school supplies. Many school age youths were in the midst of planning their school year when the flood occurred. Now many of them are cleaning their homes and have not even thought about school cloths or school supplies.

We are asking for donations of NEW school supplies and/or NEW clothing for any size school age boy or girl. Gift cards and cash will be appreciated also. Hurricane Rita left many of us in Southeast Texas where these families are at now. Now is our time to help them out. Please share with your friends and family. Let’s show them how strong our community is and what we can do in ONE DAY. Start Collecting today and drop off at: Orange County Extension Office, 11475 FM 1442 Orange (Orange County Convention and Expo Center) or you can bring your donations to our official ONE DAY SUPPLY DRIVE, Saturday, October 8 from 10 a.m. – 2 p.m. at the 4-H office.
