The Shickley FFA completed our third annual Food and Coat-Boot drive for the Blue Valley Community Action group.  We would like to thank everyone who donated food, coats and boots for our campaign.  Eight boxes of coats and 2 boxes of boots and shoes were collected along with 290lbs of food and paper products. One addition to our campaign this year was during the McCool Junction game admission to the game was 2 cans of food for adults and 1 can of food for children this provided a great increase in the food that we received. Local businesses and community members also donated food for the drive. These people were Bart Brinkman, Oswald Trucking, Bonnie Donlinger, Mary and Larry Paul, and  Carl Brinkman. Students who attended the annual Shickley lock-in donated cans of food and money for Blue Valley. Another addition to this years drive the Shickley elementary 1st grade class collected food and clothing for Blue Valley as a class project for the 2nd year, thanks 1st graders.

Our chapter again thanks everyone for their donations and hope that you will keep us in mind as we prepare for our fourth annual event.
