The Cossatot Achievers 4H Club in Wickes took up collections and spent a day delivering Thanksgiving dinner to the elderly. Kids ages 5-17 are in the club and they purchased rotisserie chickens to deliver along with canned veggies and more. Eight families were impacted by the generosity of the club.
The kids are now in full swing preparing for Christmas. They are asking for the community’s help gathering socks and personal hygiene items such as toothbrush, toothpaste, body soap, Q-tips, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, etc. The items will be used to fill Backpacks for Kids at Wickes Elementary to insure that the children have those items for use over the Christmas break.
Cossatot Achievers will be set up at the Union Bank in Wickes only, on Friday, December 2nd, and Friday, December 9th, from 4 -5 p.m. to collect the items. For more information, contact Shanea Baker at 870-385-2211.
