When it's almost Christmas you know that it's time for the FFA Toy & Food drive. I enjoyed my day helping. From making bows to working on the assembly line. This will be the 24th year for the drive. The older members of the FFA were teaching the younger ones the "tricks of the trade" for wrapping a perfect fruit basket. It does the heart good to listen to the older members talk about going to peoples homes and helping out the family. He told them, "you will know the feeling when you hand them the box of food, there's nothing like the feeling of helping folks out". Linda told me monetary donations are down this year. Majority of the monetary donations comes from business. We are all watching our spending and I'm sure they are too. So if your reading this and it's in your budget pick up a few extra cans of corn, beans, or soup. Maybe even a box of cereal or mac and cheese. Anything you could drop off at the high school office in care of the FFA would be appreciated.
