Rhinelander FBLA/DECA takes on Trick or Can food drive

The Rhinelander FBLA/DECA Club has announced that its Trick or Can food drive collected a grand total of 538 food items for the Rhinelander Food Pantry.

Approximately 15 FBLA/DECA members participated over the course of the two-hour pickup time (from 4 to 6 p.m.) on Oct. 30, according to a school district press release. Trick or Can is a statewide DECA initiative that has been going on for a number of years now. This is the ninth year Rhinelander’s FBLA/DECA chapter has hosted the event. Planning began in August and has slowly developed into the product that landed on Rhinelander community doorways at the end of October.

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.

In the ninth year of the project, Rhinelander FBLA/DECA has been thrilled to be one of the several 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 involved,” the release states.
