Civic engagement and community service are a big part of 4-H where youth and adult volunteers do a tremendous amount of benefit in their communities and beyond.
We would like to invite your 4-H clubs and projects to continue to make a difference in the lives of our military veterans by participating in the annual Texas 4-H Under Our Wings Quilt Block and Top Challenge.

What is a Quilt of Valor?
A Quilt of Valor® (QOV) is a quality, handmade quilt that is machine or hand quilted. It is awarded to a Service Member or Veteran who has been touched by war. The Quilt says unequivocally, “Thank you for your service and sacrifice in serving our nation.” To use the term Quilt of Valor, Quilts of Valor or QOV, the quilt must be a specific size, must have a label with required information, it must be awarded (it is not a gift) and it must be recorded.

This year Wharton County 4-H participated in the QOV Quilt Block Challenge creating TWO Quilts to be awarded to a Veteran.

The presentation ceremony will be held at the Wharton County Extension Office at 9 am on May 25, 2024

If you wish to nominate a Veteran to receive a quilt please submit the form below to Wharton County 4-H Agent, Laura Reyna, by May 15, 2024.
