The Abbotsford 4-H Beef Club set a goal to give back in a meaningful way, and they turned that goal into action! After voting as a club, members purchased a pig through the PNE 4-H Auction, with the meat being donated to the Abbotsford Food Bank and Patricia House in Langley.

With processing costs generously covered by Iron Butcher Custom and additional support from Johnson Meat Packers, this project became even more impactful!

Abbotsford 4h beef club , thank you for showing us the very best of 4-H. Your members saw an opportunity to give back and turned it into something that will directly impact people in their community. We are incredibly proud of your leadership, your generosity, and the example you are setting for 4-Hers across BC!!
