Sheriff Margaret Mims met with members of Rural Route 4-H. The high school students from Riverdale, Caruthers, Easton and the Westside area presented the sheriff’s office with backpacks.
50 students from Rural Route 4-H comprised of kids between the ages of 9 to 18 completed a community service project focusing on supporting children who are being removed from homes or bad situations and relocated to safe places.
They filled 40 backpacks with items such as: stuffed animala, games, activity books, notebooks, pencils, erasers, pens, hand sanitizer, mittens, a toothbrush, toothpaste, hair brushes and combs.
During club meetings, members brought the requested items, and in March they stuffed the backpacks
“We are very proud of our club in supporting this project and we hope these bags will bring some joy to the kids during a very difficult time,” said Laila Rollin, Vice President, Rural Route 4-H.
