GRANT SUCCESS STORIES

Irwin County 4-H Club is going green through the help of a Chevron Community Pride Grant. The grant will fund several projects including a newspaper recycling program to benefit Sunnydale Training Center - a work center for mentally challenged persons. Additionally the 4-H Club has developed and conducted a fundraiser by selling 100% cotton eco-friendly shopping bag to reduce the use of plastic bags and is not only using grant funding from Chevron but also local support form the Irwin EMC, AgGeorgia Farm Credit and Harvey 's Supermarkets.
