Rhinelander High School FBLA/DECA students announce results of annual food drive
"FBLA/DECA was ecstatic to bring our community a statewide community service project, Trick Or Can," according to a food pantry press release announcing the results of the drive. "Members dropped off bags for community donations on Oct. 17 and returned to pick up the non-perishable food items on Oct. 26. Halloween marks a time each year when community members are willing to open their doors and interact with one another spreading joy and candy aplenty, but it is also a great time of need in our community. That is why so many DECA chapters across the state have begun to adopt Trick or Can into their repertoire of community service events."
Approximately 23 FBLA/DECA members participated over the course of the three-hour pickup time on Oct. 26, according to a school district press release on the project.
"Instead of the traditional food drive where students sit at a table and wait for the community to bring the food to them, Trick or Can brings the food drive to the community's door, not only collecting non-perishable food items, but also awareness for an issue in our community," the release said. "In the sixth year of the project Rhinelander FBLA/DECA has been thrilled to rise into the upper levels of DECA chapters around the state who participate in this event. We look forward to continuing Trick or Can next year, expanding into more neighborhoods and getting more people in volved."
