Yesterday, Derek, Sydney, and I had the opportunity to deliver the fleece blankets made by FFA members at state convention to a veteran's home.
The three of us had just finished college orientation at the U. We all piled into Derek's car with many many fleece blankets. I was the lucky person to sit in the backseat. We wedged a spot for me between the mountain of boxes and then Derek and Syd handed me a few more. I couldn't see anything but cardboard. (pictures to come!)
After an interesting map-quest led drive, we finally arrived at the veteran's home. We were greeted at the door by the volunteer coordinator and her smiling assistant. They were incredibly grateful for all the work the members did. They said the residents would be very excited to have something so nice and personal to call their own.
Thank you to everyone who participated in making the blankets at convention. You made a difference in the lives of over 70 residents and showed the staff at the veteran's home what values FFA members hold.
Thanks for living to serve.
