Pondera County 4-H members complete many service projects in ways both small and large. Members in the four 4-H clubs have given to the mitten and hat tree, made turkey meal boxes for local families, delivered holiday treats to shut-ins and held an annual shopping spree that benefits the Pondera Food Pantry. In addition to these efforts, in 2022 the Conrad 4-H sewing members helped make quilt blocks for quilts given to residents at the Logan Health – Conrad extended care. One of the Pondera 4-H Ambassadors, Breauna Erickson, began a leadership project to build sidewalks at the Marias Fairgrounds to help people of all ages with mobility issues. In the first year, she fundraised more than $50,000. The sidewalk project will be completed in the next 2-3 years and will link the major venues between the show barns, exhibit building, food concessions and grandstands.
