Midland Legacy FFA collecting donations from the community to help the people in need in the Panhandle
MIDLAND, Texas (KOSA) -Midland Legacy FFA is collecting donations from the community to help the people in need in the panhandle.
The Midland Legacy FFA is planning to take this trailer to the panhandle to help the people in need and who are affected by the wildfire.
The Legacy FFA students saw on social media that the FFA students in the Panhandle lost their agriculture barns and livestock due to the fire.
They want to help their fellow agriculture chapters as they battle against the smokehouse creek fire.
“It’s beneficial for us as a community to reach out to other FFA classes and chapters that are in need, especially in this difficult time.” said Midland Legacy student Carson Awbrey
The Midland Legacy FFA is looking specifically for items to benefit the agriculture programs like animal food, water buckets, clothing, first aid kits, old towels, and more.
“I think it is important to do this as a community and as students, especially students that are in agriculture classes because I feel like it gives us a feel like what other people are going through right now and it means a lot that we are able to come help them.” said Midland Legacy FFA student Hannah Clark
When they heard about how the fires were affecting the FFA chapters in the Panhandle... the Midland Legacy FFA students came together to exchange ideas on how they could help their fellow future farmers.
“We are trying to help out people in FFA because that’s what FFA is about so we love to help other districts that we can do. We reached out to a couple of them” said Midland Legacy FFA student Aliya Loyd.
The FFA students in the panhandle lost their agriculture projects along with their barns and stables.
Meaning they don’t have a place to keep their animals for major stock shows anymore.
“Watching how we can help out and learning how to prevent it in the future but the least they need is supply. all they need is more and more help.” said Midland Legacy student Cooper Evans.
The Midland Legacy FFA students said this is just one way that they’re stepping up to help those affected by the fire.
“When there is a need for help you reach out you do what you can and i am very proud of these kiddos they jumped in.” said Midland Legacy HS Agriculture student Desiree Farmer.
