Statewide Community Service Project - Feeding America Click here to find a food bank near you sponsored by Feeding America
Being
Family Career and Community Leaders of America members, it is part
of our mission to give service and help those who are less fortunate
than us. And we can do just that through our statewide community
service project, Feeding America. Feeding
America
is a domestic
hunger-relief charity throughout
America. Every year, the
network gives to over 25 million low income families with food
assistance. It has a network of over 200 banks across all 50
states.
PA FCCLA has chosen “Feeding America” as our outreach
program for this year. Some
of you may have already learned about the program at your regional
meetings. All of you
can help first at your chapter level and have a food drive for
your local food bank, or undertake a writing campaign to
legislators asking them to address hunger in our country, or
invite a representative from your local food bank to speak to your
club.
Next, The State Executive Council is asking for chapters to
bring items such as canned food, dry cereal, tuna, fruit juices,
hand soap, toilet or facial tissue, laundry detergent or diapers
to the State Leadership Conference in March. These items will help
those in the Lancaster area. We
wanted to have some fun with this project, too.
At conference, your
chapter will receive a ticket for each item brought or reported as
a donation to your local food bank.
You may place these tickets in any basket provided from
each region. Lucky
chapters at conference will receive baskets,
if their tickets are drawn.
So the more you donate the better chance you have of
winning a basket. With
or without a basket, we are all winners if we can help alleviate
hunger from any family in our country.
Start Feeding America! Pennsylvania
FCCLA chapters reported raising $9,374 for Relay for Life during the
2007-2008 school year. Although,
"Relay for Life" is not the 2008-2009 statewide Community
Service project, local chapters are encouraged to continue their local
Relay partnerships and involvement with this worthwhile cause.
