John Hardin High School Agriculture Teacher and FFA Adviser Jeremy Hall says his students saw the devastation caused by storms that recently hit Laurel County and other areas of Kentucky last week and immediately wanted to take action.
“I’m very blessed that I’ve got a group of kids that just want to help,” Hall said. “As soon as we started seeing, especially Saturday morning, all the devastation, my kids were like ‘we gotta do something.’”
The students decided the least they could do was organize a donation drive.
“We’re going to take those donations at John Harden up until Wednesday, and then I think Thursday or Friday morning (we’re working on logistics of that), we’re going to take them and deliver them,” Hall said.
The students are accepting a wide range of items.
“Non-perishable food, paper towels, wipes, baby food,” Hall said. “We found out this morning a lot of our FFA members down there were affected, so even livestock feed and things of that nature are needed. Pet food.”
Donations may be brought to the Ag. Ed. Department at John Hardin High School between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday. Visit the John Hardin Agricultural Education/FFA Facebook page for more information.
