South O’Brien FFA Members Participate in Meals From The Heartland


While at the State FFA Leadership Conference, South O’Brien FFA members also assisted with packing Meals From the Heartland citizenship project. More than 1,200 FFA members from throughout Iowa volunteered in this effort to package 200,000 rice-soy meals, which is the equivalent of feeding 770 children for an entire year. The partnership between Iowa FFA and Meals From the Heartland, over the course of eleven years, will have contributed nearly 2.4 million meals to those in need throughout Iowa and around the world. This is comparable to keeping 9,400 children fed for an entire year.
