The Vinton-Shellsburg FFA Chapter hosted its annual free-will donation spaghetti dinner on Tuesday, January 21st. This event provided a delicious homemade meal for 225 community members either as a dine-in option during the home basketball game or as a convenient to-go meal. FFA members worked together to prepare and serve a well-rounded meal, including spaghetti with sauce, garlic bread, fresh salad, and a variety of cookies for dessert. The Vinton-Shellsburg FFA is grateful for the community's generosity as just over $1,700 was collected at the fundraiser. The chapter looks forward to continuing this event in the future.
