On Monday our FFA chapter will be holding our annual corn drive 🌽

A portion of our proceeds from the corn donated goes to the True Friends Organization. True Friends is a non profit group that provides camps and other opportunities to adults and children with disabilities. Many FFA chapters from across the state choose to donate to this organization. The remainder of our proceeds stay in the local community- going either to a local family in need or other non-profit community groups.

We appreciate all the area farm families that donate to our corn drive! If anyone is interested in donating but cannot donate grain this year, we accept monetary donations as well. Checks may be written to Morris Area FFA.

Again, thank you to everyone that has supported our FFA program- past, present and future!
