The Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter at the Dr. James A. Forrest Career & Technology Center in Leonardtown, MD recently sponsored a soda tab collection drive at the school for the Ronald McDonald House charity.
For thirty-eight years this charity has been helping to ensure 4.5 million families receive proper health care and housing. In schools just like the Forrest Center the RMHC collects about $30,000 a year due to these tabs.
At the completion of the drive, the Forrest Center’s FFA chapter was able to donate about 78,000 tabs and they plan on becoming more involved in helping the community.
