Larry Hunt, CAM PK-8 Principal, reports the CAM FFA and the CAM Middle School FFA along with the CAM Middle School are doing a joint community service project. The groups are working with a non-profit group called Meals for the Heartland, to package 30,000 meals to be donated to local food banks and other needy food banks, that send meals to areas around the world to help people in need. The chapter applied for a grant of $2,000 from the Farm Credit Services, in Harlan.

The Chapter also received a donation from the Anita Lions club to help pay for the products used in the meals. To meet the monetary needs Farm Credit Services gave an additional $700 to fund the project. On Jan. 10th members of both FFA groups along with 5th, 6th, 7th,and 8th graders will be set up in two groups to package the meals.
