Information
Changes for 2025
This year, we want to take One Day 4-H back to its roots and see the impact that Texas 4-H can make across the state in One Day (October 11, 2025).
Therefore, Texas 4-H will be looking for the events that make the biggest impact in the following five categories from across the state:
- Blood Drive
- Goods Drive (Clothing, Food, Pet Supplies)
- Recruitment (New member enrollment, 4 more for 4-H)
- Hands-on Service (highway clean-up, park clean-up, manual labor, etc.)
- Partnership Service (working with another non-profit: helping at an animal shelter to bathe animals, clean runs, build ramps, build beds, etc.).
The county/counties determined to make the largest impact on One Day (October 11th) in each of the above five categories will receive a $100 gift card for their club/county and will be presented with a banner on Tuesday night of the 2026 Texas 4-H Roundup to hang in their county office.
T-shirts are being offered in youth and adult sizes, in five different colors (these do vary slightly between youth and adult) and must be ordered on C.C. Creations Texas 4-H Storefront at: https://texas4honedayfall2025.itemorder.com/shop/home/ (not 4Honline) and they will all be shipped directly to you.
