It encourages honor, patriotism and a concern for agriculture. Sherry Harriman 280 Kennebunk Rd. Sanford, ME 04073 email Community Service Community Service projects are carried out by all Junior Granges. The range of projects include making tray favors for shut-ins, reading to a seriously ill child, sponsoring a holiday party for children in the community, cleaning up roadsides and parks, collecting toys and coats for needy children at Christmas, and providing food for animals in shelters. Get everyone involved gathering items and delivering.
Every child has the right to read and to have easy access to appropriate reading materials.
We are asking Junior Granges across the country to collect good used books or purchase new ones to be given to shelters, local social services, day cares, churches, anywhere that will make them available for use and given to the children to take them home, read them, and keep them. The Grange is truly a family organization for people of all ages. Emphasis is given to family oriented projects. Junior Grange family members are urged to take part in these special projects. The ideal thing would be to furnish the bags to your local social services who are involved with picking up the children and taking them to their foster home.
