Continuing #Florida4H’s Month of Service, Volusia County Florida 4-H youth are making a fresh impact!🥕 Partnering with a local farm, 4-H members harvested, packed, and delivered fresh vegetables each week to families in need, while building skills in agriculture, teamwork, and leadership.

Continuing #Florida4H’s Month of Service, we’re highlighting Nassau County 4-H youth as they brought native plants back into focus.

Youth built and placed native plant garden boxes in public spaces, beautifying the community while supporting local ecosystems. Each garden included signage to help others learn why native plants matter. #4HServes

Florida 4‑H youth tackled food insecurity through their Legacy Meals Spring Program, creating low‑cost meal kits for families, seniors, and youth in need. Partnering with local groups, they made healthy meals more accessible. Proud of our youth for strengthening their community through service. #MonthOfService #4HServes

UF IFAS Extension Lake County 4-H's youth took on a powerful Community Pride project this year by supporting Families in Transition (FIT), rehab centers, and assisted living residents with essential items like blankets and gloves. Their efforts continued through February, giving residents months of comfort, connection, and joy.
