4-H Feature:
Spokane County 4-H Avista/NWFC Dues Awards
We know this year has been tough on our 4-H families. That’s why we are taking advantage of the money donated to Spokane County 4-H by Avista and Northwest Farm Credit Services to pay the dues of 125 members this year.
A few things to consider:
- This is a first come, first serve since there are only 125 awards to offer. When you enroll in 4-H Online, it is timestamped. That means if you’ve already enrolled and you still want to request help to cover your dues, you can!
- Spokane County must be your youth’s primary county for enrollment
- Youth must be enrolled no later than January 31st, 2021 to be eligible.
