FCS backs National Days of Service

If you want to have an appreciation for what life was like on a farm during the 1930’s Great Depression, head to the Maplelawn Farmstead, located outside of Indianapolis. In Late October, FFA members, along with several Farm Credit staff members fenced and landscaped the historic site as well as prepared the farmhouse for community fundraising events.

It was part of the National FFA’s National Days of Service, a program that pairs FFA members with members of the ag community in a volunteer effort to strengthen the neighborhood and leave a lasting legacy to the community that graciously hosts the national convention each year. Farm Credit is a first time sponsor of the Maplewood Farmstead volunteer program.
 
Each year, rural America can count on us to invest over $1 million to help meet community needs in many ways including support for youth organizations such as FFA and 4-H, educational scholarships and programs that benefit young and beginning farmers. The National FFA’s National Days of Service is just one way we are reaching into the communities where we work and live!
