Northwestern FFA helps pack soup for needy in Ashland, Wayne counties

The Northwestern FFA chapter lent a helping hand with packing soup at the Harvest Call Distribution Center in Sterling in November.

Students measured the ingredients of each soup and poured them into bags to later be packaged into boxes and sent to families in need.

There were three groups that helped to pack either vegetable soup or rice pilaf soup. The chapter members packaged 4,000 bags, which totaled about 20,520 meals that were distributed to those in need in Wayne and Ashland counties.

There were 29 students who volunteered three hours of an evening to help with the soup packing.

The students were Mallory Bloom, Emma Connelly, Navaeh Kirk, Taylor Wurst, Ava O’Laughlin, Ravenna Stiegelmeyer, Mary Wellert, Ella Saal, Gabriella Riedel, Ava Stoller, Brianna Lance, Andi Jackson, Claire Bucholz, Lauren Vaughen, Mel Imhoff, Hanna Wilson, Taryn Stoller, Addy Cassidy, Logan Garman, Kaylee Cherry, Alysa Troyan, Mallory Gilbert, Braiden Franks, Keegan Johns, Chet McNeil, Jacoby Gilbert, Preston Wilcox, Kaleb Badger and Kade Tegtmeier.
