Tractor Supply Company, the largest retail farm and ranch store chain in the United States, will offer shoppers the opportunity to support 4-H youth programs through $1 donations at the register. In exchange, customers will receive paper clovers to sign and post in store windows. The program is scheduled to run from March 26-April 18 at area Tractor Supply stores.
"Many of our stores have been involved with 4-H clubs for years. Now, Tractor Supply Company is proud to have an official chain-wide relationship with 4-H," said Tractor Supply Company chairman and CEO Jim Wright. "For us, this is an outstanding way to support our current and future customers and future team members, and it's a way to give back to the 900-plus unique communities we serve."
Donations will help fund local, state and national 4-H programs that support the organization's three mission mandates -- citizenship, healthy living, and educational advancements in the areas of science, engineering and technology. 4-H is a community of six million young Americans and has been in existence since the start of the 20th century. 4-H programs are designed to provide practical, hands-on learning opportunities to assist youth in reaching their full potential.
"Partnering with 4-H is an excellent way for Tractor Supply to give back to the members and families who support our business," said John Wendler, senior vice president, marketing at Tractor Supply. "4-H provides future generations with hands-on knowledge that's relevant to a rural lifestyle, and teaches values that strengthen our country's young people. We are proud to support 4-H."
