FFA, FCCLA, Educators Rising, National Technical Honor Society, Chapter Members all joined forces to gather food for the Plainview Community Food Pantry. As many students are members of more than one organization, members felt this would be an excellent project to do together.
Members began the night by dividing into mixed groups and then selected different areas of Plainview to ask residents for donations of non-perishable food items. Members spent an hour driving throughout Plainview collecting. When returning, members counted the items for documentation for their state record keeping. Members were excited to find out that they had collected right at 350 items.
