Clothing, Health, and Dairy Foods Projects

Goodwill Industries


2002 Academic Conference delegates in the clothing, health, and dairy foods projects volunteered with Goodwill Industries, which is an organization that provides employment training for people with disabilities. This training is funded through the chain of Goodwill stores. The 4-H'ers sorted clothes and put them on hangers, boxed envelopes for the military, and helped with other tasks. One 4-H'er reported learning "not to feel sorry for people but to help them. . . . This might lead to more volunteer work in my community, being more considerate, and having a good time, too."
