2008-2009 National Outreach Project with Feed the Children

FCCLA National Outreach Project with Feed The Children (FTC)
FCCLA is proud continue their partnership with Feed The Children (FTC) for the 2008-2009 National Outreach Project.  FCCLA members will have the opportunity to be involved in a Truck Sponsorship Program which provides tangible relief to children and families in need.  

The Truck Sponsorship programs allows deliveries of 400 boxes of food, 400 boxes of personal care items, and 2 pallets of miscellaneous goods to hungry children and families in the U.S for one week!  If every FCCLA member participates, as many as 25,000 families could receive food for as little as $2 per student! In the U.S. alone, 13 million children live in poverty-that's 18 percent of the population!  Families living in poverty often do not have enough to feed their families.  A single truck sponsorship provides approximately $35,000 to $50,000 worth of food and other essentials (actual weight and value of product varies by shipment) to families in need.  

Donations must be received from FCCLA members to Feed The Children 30 days in advance of a Truck distribution date for their state or by May 31, 2009.  Feed The Children will then choose a qualified nonprofit agency (food pantries, homeless shelters, etc.) to serve as the receiving agent for the goods.  On the day of the food drop, FCCLA members will assist with set-up, distribution, and tear-down, allowing you to witness firsthand the impact of your donation!
