2008 - 2009 NATIONAL OUTREACH PROJECT
Nevada FCCLA is proud to participate in our national community service project: Feed the Children
Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) is proud to announce we have chosen Feed The Children (FTC) for our 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.
Each Truck Sponsorsed provides a delivery 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.
Nevada chapters can download the FTC Guidebook here to learn about how to get involved in this National Outreach Project.
