Paper Clover Fundraiser at Tractor Supply Stores – April 27-May 8
Tractor Supply proudly began their partnership with 4-H in 2010 and have since helped raise over $14 million through our Paper Clover fundraisers. The success of these campaigns has impacted over 69,000 students by providing them with hands-on learning experiences through projects in STEM, agriculture, healthy living, and civic engagement.

100% of funds raised through our two Paper Clover fundraisers directly benefit 4-H and the kids and teens they work with – 90% of donations directly support 4-H youth in the state it was raised, and the remaining 10% supports national 4-H programming.

Please consider supporting our Sussex 4-H Program by visiting one of the following Tractor Supply Stores between April 27 and May 8:

  • Millsboro Tractor Supply – 28668 Dupont Blvd, Millsboro, DE 19966
  • Seaford Tractor Supply – 20952 Sussex Hwy, Seaford, DE 19973

County Record Book Templates

Sussex County Record Books are due at the end of August.  Please find the county record book templates on the DE 4-H Website for all members to complete. Need a refresher on how to complete record books?  Have your club leader contact Mrs. Jackson to set up a training!
