News : FFA Seeking Assistance in Preparing Blessing Bags

This year as part of the FFA Living to Serve Plan. the group is creating blessing bags to deliver to the homeless in Indianapolis, Indiana near our FFA National Convention.

"Last year we had gone to a restaurant to order food for the night and we decided to pass it out to the homeless people. We loved the idea of helping these people so much that this year we want to create blessing bags before we go hand out in Indianapolis." said Izzie Birker.

If you would like to help provide some of these needs or would like to donate money toward this project, you can do so by dropping donations off at the high school office and any check or cash can be made out to the VS FFA chapter by THIS Thursday, October 17, 2024. There will be an Amazon order placed for some of the items that can't be purchased locally.

The group is hoping to package a total of 100 bags and will plan to bag the items after school next week.
