Shout out to the Alta Aurelia FFA Chapter for helping feed families in need this holiday season.
We're still getting pictures from the almost 50 student-based organizations that participated in the Ignite the Spirit Program offered by Iowa Select Farms and the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation, and these are just in!
Members of the Alta Aurelia FFA Chapter have been hard at work putting together food bags for families in their school. After shopping for all the Christmas meal fixings and packaging them up with some delicious and nutritious Iowa pork, the FFA members will work with the school’s backpack program to make sure the food reaches those who need it most.
Ignite the Spirit is an extension of the Deb and Jeff Hansen Foundation’s Operation Christmas Meal program and is aimed at increasing awareness of hunger locally and igniting the spirit of service by giving local student groups the tools—pork!—to help even more families during the holiday season.
