THE FOOD DRIVE WAS A SUCCESS!!!

We applaud FAA Student Council for their leadership and thinking of others in need. The students wanted to find a way to give back to the community when they decided to run a food drive. They would ask the student body to bring in can goods and non-perishables and the response was overwhelming. All goods raised were donated to the local food shelf at Sabathani Community Center that serves the families in the South Minneapolis community.
HOW DOES FAA SPELL RELIEF?
