(Wisconsin Ag Connection) -With the cancellation of this year's Rally to Fight Hunger due to COVID-19, Wisconsin FFA is partnering with event sponsor, Kerry, and National FFA to continue to provide this much-needed support throughout the state.The newly created Rally to Fight Hunger Chapter Grant is providing $18,000 to support local producers and hunger relief projects led by FFA chapters. All Wisconsin FFA Chapters were eligible to apply for this special chapter grant opportunity, and winning applicants were selected by the 2019-20 state officers.
Thirty-six chapters are putting funds to work in their communities immediately and will share a report of their impact as part of a revised 2020 State Convention experience this summer. Some local chapters earning $500 grants for their projects include Greenwood, Loyal, Marshfield and Thorp.
