Once again, the NEW Cooperative Foundation has shown their commitment to supporting local 4-H youth.

Recently, the foundation donated $35,700 to 121 area 4-H clubs totaling to be 2,380 individual 4-H club members.

The money is donated for half of each 4-H youth’s dues in NEW Cooperative’s trade territory, which includes Webster, Calhoun, Carroll, Greene, Franklin, Sac, Pocahontas, Humboldt, Hamilton, Kossuth, Cherokee, Crawford, Plymouth, Monona, Wright, and Woodbury counties.

“NEW Cooperative takes great pride in supporting our area youth 4-H programs,” said Gary Mortiz, NEW Cooperative communications director. “We strongly feel that 4-H helps these youth build the foundation to become future leaders in our local communities. We are excited for them as they gain all of the valuable skills and knowledge the 4-H program offers.”
