4H-Club Project

We are looking for donations to help improve the 4-H Ranch in Long Beach, CA. It houses several farm animals including but not limited to: Horses, Llamas, Sheeps, Goats, Chickens, Ducks, Donkeys, and many more.

Children come to visit the farm and learn how to feed the animals as well as gather information about each animal for personal or school projects.

The 4-H organization accepts any type of donations, whether through monetary, building materials, and/or laborers to build or improve the site.

Here's a bulleted list of what we are hoping to accomplish before the next rainy season arrives:

Permanently remove all weeds that are growing throughout the fields
Build new homes for the animals
Plant different species of flowers and trees for additional learning experiences.

Here's a list of on-going items that the 4-H farm can use for the well-being and welfare of the farm animals:

Rent
Feed
Hay
Water
Electricity
Gas
Landscape maintenance
Rodent and Insect control

All funds can be made payable to Los Angeles County 4-H. To ensure that the funds are directed to support the 4-H ranch in Long Beach, please send it to the attention of:

Ranch Cardoso is a proud participant and volunteer for the California 4-H Youth Development Program. The purpose of 4-H is to help young people discover and develop their potential. 4-H encourages young people to set their own goals and make their own plans and decisions. This helps boys and girls mature and build self-confidence. By being part of a group, 4-H'ers learn to understand and to cooperate with others. These two basic skills help youth achieve a happy, useful life.

The goals of 4-H and Ranch Cardoso are the same.... to help young people with the following:

Develop initiative and assume responsibility.
Develop leadership and be of service to others.
Develop the ability to live and work cooperatively with others.
Acquire knowledge and skills and explore careers.
Achieve satisfaction from work and accomplishments.
Choose from alternatives and plan satisfying lives.
