Kudos to the Mormon Trail FFA Chapter for knocking their Ignite the Spirit opportunity out of the park!
The FFA chapter was one of 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.
These students prepared and cooked meals for community members in need. The meals included two sides, a dessert and, of course, a delicious Iowa Select Farms pork loin. Their hard work and generosity impacted over 200 people!
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.
As part of the program, FFA chapters and 4-H clubs also receive event kits with aprons along with a check for $250 to purchase additional food for the meal.
