4-H Round Up (All Month)

This June, we’re teaming-up with Coastal to help local 4-H chapters. When you round up your purchase at Coastal, those pennies, nickels and dimes turn into real support for local kids right here in our community. The last time Coastal did this campaign, customers helped raise more than $60,000 for 4-H programs. So whether you’re picking up dog food, flowers for the yard, fencing supplies or a new pair of work boots, make sure to round up at the register and help invest in the next generation of hardworking local youth. Small change can make a big difference all month long at our local Coastal store.
