Schley County FCCLA hosted a food drive at the Middle/High School from October 28 - November 15. Students were informed on statistics of food insecurity in America and Schley County. Then they were encouraged to "share their thanks by giving" through daily announcements, teacher reminders, and flyers posted around the school. Over the 3 week period, FCCLA collected 137 items. Items were donated to the local food pantry on Wednesday, November 20 and will be distributed to families in the community during the holidays. FCCLA hopes to continue this outreach and improve the number of families reached in the future.
