Cape May Court House - The Cape May County 4-H Program Advisory Council awarded 2019 Mission Mini Grants for educational projects to two 4-H clubs in February 2019. 

The Kitchen Phanatics 4-H Club will use its grant to continue to sponsor the 4-H Chopped! Cooking Contest which promotes healthy living and helps build confidence in 4-H youth. The Scales & Tails 4-H club will use their funds for 4-H’ers to participate in educational programs at the Marine Mammal Stranding Center this summer.
