Carteret County 4-H is sponsoring a quarterly county-wide service project in 2021. In March, youth collected children's books as well as some adult books and placed them in Free Little Libraries across the county. Our September service project will be with Carteret Big Sweep and our December project will focus on our Military Troops.
During the month of June, Carteret County 4-H will collect needed supplies for the Carteret County Humane Society and the Outer Banks Wildlife Shelter. Donations can be dropped off at the 4-H Office which is located on the 3rd floor of the CMAST Building, 303 College Circle, Morehead City.Carteret County 4-H Community Service - All About Animals
Those wishing to help the Humane Society can do so in one of three ways: 1) Volunteer 2) Foster a cat or dog 3) Donate.
The shelter has created the following Wish List of items that they are in constant need of.
Additionally, they have an upcoming Amazon Wish List and Amazon Smile Account. Monetary donations can also be made through Mighty Cause.
