Hello Athens Community,
The Athens FFA and FFA Alumni are collecting canned goods and/or non perishable items to construct an agricultural themed canned food structure, which we will be submitting into the Can Do Challenge hosted by Luke Bryan.
All the canned food items will be donated to the Circle of Joy after the construction of our sculpture.
Please feel free to drop off any canned or non perishable donations off at the Athens FFA fair booth next week in the community hall!
Thank you !!!!!
