Our Griswold FCCLA chapter does many things for our community.  We collect and donate winter apparel to the local “Lord’s Closet” in town.  The Lord’s Closet is the nearest donation center/drop off to our school.  We usually set up “Giving Trees” as the place where we collect the winter apparel from our school.  As a chapter, we also collect and donate shoes for Soles for Souls, a national program.   Some of our members took it upon themselves to hold a pajama and book drive.  They really stepped up to the plate and built a big drop-off box for new kids PJs and children’s books.  They had heard of an organization that was collecting these items for kids who have never had a warm pair of PJs or a bedtime story read to them.  We are very proud to have such active and compassionate members at Griswold.

 

 

 

 

The state outreach is Soles for Souls.  Griswold has been collecting many pairs of shoes to donate to the cause.  Soles for Souls is an organization that collects good, used shoes from around the U.S. to send to countries that have been devastated by disasters.  Posters like the one below were put up around Griswold High School to help spread awareness of this great state program.
