Lincoln County 4-H

4-H is America’s largest youth development organization—empowering nearly six million young people across the U.S. with the skills to lead for a lifetime. We believe that every child has valuable strengths and real influence to improve the world around us. 4-H programs empower young people to be well-informed citizens, actively engaged in their communities and the world. 

Grow & Give

Grow & Give was created by CSU Extension in 2020 to help educate home gardeners on how to grow in Colorado while connecting their backyard produce with Coloradans in need. The program helps gardeners learn how to grow fruits and vegetables at home or in their community, with an emphasis on growing extra to give locally.

Ready to pitch in? With the help of Fresh Food Connect, we’re linking Colorado gardeners to local community organizations.
