The ROWVA FFA chapter set out to provide 10 Thanksgiving meals for local families in need — and the community responded in a big way. Thanks to an outpouring of donations (cash, canned goods, turkeys, hams, and even boxes and tape), the students have now assembled at least 20 complete baskets, with more possible before Monday’s deadline. Chapter President Alivia Jones, along with sophomores Sophia Courtright and Peighton Higgerson, stopped by Galesburg’s Morning News to talk leadership, the joy of giving back, and why FFA is about a lot more than just farming. Baskets will be delivered Tuesday, November 25th.
