set to kick-off Harvest for America Food Drive
cans of food as possible to Macon. All canned food must be dropped off in the Alumni area outside of the Career Show in Exhibit Hall from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m. on Thurs., April 22. Again this year, chapters are encouraged to bring jars of Peanut Butter as part of their donation. The FFA Advisor or alumni representative should complete the necessary form to let us know how many canned food items are donated from your FFA chapter and alumni affiliate. Download Food Drive Form. Donations are also accepted. So please spread the word to people in your community that may like to donate. The FFA chapter that donates the largest number of food will win one scholarship to the 2010 Washington Leadership Conference. More information on the Harvest for America food drive can be found online at www.ffaalumni.org. Can Drive Goals: • Provide a hands-on opportunity for FFA and Alumni members to participate in service learning activities. • Provide examples of youth/ adult partnerships working together to improve communities. • Lay foundation for a solid relationship with local and regional Tractor Supply stores. Can Drive Incentives: • The FFA Chapter bringing the most cans will receive one WLC scholarship valued at $550. • The hours FFA members spend on the project can be submitted to the Million Hour Challenge initiative for service learning. The MHC project deadline is October 1. Contacts: |
