Support FFA Members and FFA Chapters in Times of Need
Unexpected events affect FFA members, their families, advisors, chapters and communities from time to time. This page is designed to serve as a starting point for others looking to help in various ways. We also encourage those among us — our student members, advisors, alumni and supporters — to help local FFA chapters during their times of need.
Current FFA members, chapters and communities affected:
Hurricane Ian
Several school-based agricultural education programs and FFA chapters suffered extensive damage. Donations are greatly appreciated and can be made online at https://donorbox.org/betterdaysfund. The donations will be dispersed directly to agricultural education programs and FFA chapters affected by the hurricane.
Checks can also be sent to:
Florida FFA Foundation
Attn: Better Days Fund
5000 Firetower Rd.
Haines City, FL 33844
Please make checks payable to the Florida FFA Foundation and write “Better Days Fund” on the memo of the check or money order. Donations are tax-deductible.
If your FFA chapter is in need of support from this fund, please apply by emailing Hilary.Holley@flaffa.org or Ronnie.Simmons@flaffa.org.
If you have questions or need more information, please email Hilary or Ronnie or call 352-378-0060.
