Community Service Opportunity!!
Hey Tigers! Have you noticed that the little neighborhood pantries are looking a bit empty lately? These serve as a huge resource to many people in need in our community. Let’s help “Pack the Pantries!” SLO FFA is hosting a neighborhood food pantry drive. All items need to be dropped off in the hallway in the Ag building from Monday 10/14-Friday 10/18. Our FFA students will be delivering them to the neighborhoods in our community. If you’re not in FFA, this is still a great opportunity to help your SLO community. Check out the list of items needed on our flyer and on our SLO FFA social media accounts! Thank you!
