Community Service
Santa Rosa Valley 4-H Cares about our Community!
We ask all members to do community service. The number of suggested hours is based on member age:
2023-2024 TOTSOCE Kick Off is here!
Did you know 1 in 4 people in Ventura County is Food Insecure? Join us Wednesday 10/11 at 6pm at the Food Share Offices (4156 Southbank Rd., Oxnard ) for the 2023 TOTSOCE Kick Off Event. We will tour the facilities and then pack a few bags of food. Families can participate by collecting non perishable food all month and bring the collected food to our November meeting. Don't forget to weigh your food and email your total to the Community Service Officer. Can we beat our 2,166 pounds from last year? Information packets were handed out at the meeting on Monday. If you need to print more door knockers or thank you cards they are under Member Resources. Members earn 1 hour of community service for attending the even and helping to bag food. They can earn additional hours for distributing the door knockers and collecting food during the TOTSOCE event. Are you Trick or Treating? How about Trick or Treating so Others Can Eat and passing out bags with door knockers at the homes you are trick or treating at?
2022 TOTSOCE: We surpassed our club goal of 1,500 pounds and collected a whopping 2,166 pounds of food this year for the Trick Or Treat so Others Can Eat food drive!
Community Service is a big part of our club culture
We believe in the importance of giving back to our community in a variety of ways. Our youth members identify needs in the community and then come up with a plan to meet those needs. Our members participate in community service activities at the club level and during individual project meetings. Our club has participated in many community service projects. Some of our past community service projects include:
collect food during our annual Trick or Treat so Others Can Eat food drive
hosting a Build a Bear collection drive then donating the bears to the local Police dept to give to kids to reduce trauma in emergency situations,
adopt families and provide food and gifts for the Holidays to spread some cheer
making toys for the animals at the shelter
volunteering at local AKC Agility Shows
making care packages for Operation Gratitude
making care packages for the homeless
making adoption posters for the local animal shelter
making placemats for Meals on Wheels and
writing cards of appreciation for Operation Gratitude.
We are looking for a Sponsor and Donors for our 2023 Holiday Dinner and Auction Fundraiser
If your company is looking for a way to give back in our community we would like to partner with you. Our annual event is one way we give back to Ventura County. We are in need of a sponsor for our 2023 event As well as donations of goods and services that can be included in our Charity Auction please contact us. We are looking for items such as pet supplies, health and wellness items, gift certificates, experiences, bottles of wine, food items and addmisison tickets to local attractions. In 2022 We were able to raise $3,700 and worked with Ventura County's "Adopt a Formerly Homeless Family" program to provide presents, Gift cards, food and more.
