It is National FFA Week, and today the spotlight is on giving! Give FFA Day is a special campaign to raise money for members, with your help.

The money you give helps members all year long. Let’s meet Shelby Humbarger, who shares how the program helped her navigate personal loss, build lasting relationships, and find her passion for agricultural education.

Do not forget to join us tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern for a special two-hour telethon as we help FFA reach its goal!
