Sherman Kountry Kids Provide Hands for Larger Service

JAMESTOWN, NEW YORK (December 13, 2022) -- The Sherman Kountry Kids 4-H Club provided service to the Blue Star Mothers Lake Erie NY Chapter 4 for their Annual Christmas Care Package event. On December 3rd, 2022, 16 Club members with their family members attended this event at the Fluvanna Community Church.

At this event, many other community members and organizations, including Cub Scouts and other 4-H clubs, help packed boxes for service men and women throughout the world. In addition to volunteering at this event, the Sherman Kountry Kids also made over 160 Christmas cards and letters for these service men and women, as well as donating items to be packed in the boxes.

Overall, it was a great event that taught our club members how to give back to their community and military men and women who provide a service to us.
