On November 10, 2020, at 1:00 pm, the Smoky Mountain Home School 4-H Club met at Revival Vision Church. Each member had prepared and packed a shoebox for Samaritan’s Purse, Operation Christmas Child. Elijah Helton, the community service organizer, prepared the boxes for shipping and delivered them to Milan Baptist Church, the drop-off location for Union County. The Smoky Mountain Home School 4-H Club regularly participates in community service activities. The club reports 21 service hours for the month of November. We are always looking for ways to help our community, our country, and our world. If you have any questions or would like more information about joining a 4-H club, please call the Union County UT Extension Office at (865) 992-8038.
