4-H Clover Chronicle

If your child is going to be participating in any 4-H activities in the next year, please complete the below enrollment form.

Pantry Pride is possible because of a partnership between Georgia 4-H and the Georgia Food Bank Association, with Feeding Georgia being the main sponsor. This event offers youth the opportunity to create a recipe that utilizes foods commonly found at food banks. Consider incorporating this contest into an existing food and nutrition-related activity you have planned this summer.

Selected high school students will be invited to prepare their recipe in a live contest at the Georgia National Fair.

The contest rules and recipe card are attached below.

Contest Goals:
1. Raise awareness about poverty and hunger in Georgia.
2. Challenge 4-H’ers to think creatively about food and cooking by developing recipes using
ingredients commonly found in Georgia Food Banks.
3. Educate 4-H’ers about the cost of food and what it takes to feed a family.
4. Provide youth and families across Georgia with a “recipe bank” for inexpensive,
nutritious meals.
