Trick or Treat for
Canned Goods
This year, our chapter decided to resurrect the community service project Trick-or-Treat for canned goods. We asked our members to donate their time from 5-7 on Halloween and walk around town, collecting food. The members arranged themselves into teams of 2 to 5 and competed for bragging rights, a picture on the FBLA bulletin board, and their picture on this website. All the proceeds were donated to the Shepherd's Pantry. To the left are all the members involved in Trick-or-Treat for Canned Goods, to the bottom left is the finals results of the competition as well as the total amount of cans collected, and to the bottom right is a picture of the winning team, AJ^2. Chadron FBLA plans to integrate this project into our annual list of community service projects. Thank you to everyone who donated cans and the members who donated their time!
