Since 1934, 4-H House has served as a home-away-from-home for college women attending the University of Illinois. 4-H House women benefit directly from the generosity of alumnae and friends, like you, who share in the commitment to the generations of women who have lived and grown at 4-H House. Gifts are used to support scholarships, house improvements and programming for the women of 4-H House. Without your support these things would not be possible.
