Rhinelander FBLA/DECA ready for Trick-or-Can food drive

The members of the Rhinelander High School FBLA/DECA club are preparing for their annual community service project, the Trick-or-Can food drive. Members will be dropping off bags for community donations and will be back around to pick up non-perishable food items several days later.

“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,” the club explained in a press release. “That is why so many DECA chapters across the state have begun to adopt Trick or Can into their repertoire of community service events.”

On Oct. 21, FBLA members will go out into the community strategically and safely distributing donation bags to homes with a flier explaining what can and cannot be donated. The community’s job is to place non-perishable food items into the bag with non-perishable food items and be ready to have it picked up on Oct. 30! If you will not be home on that day, you can just leave them out front with a note, the release notes.

All donations will go to the Rhinelander Area Food Pantry where they will be redistributed to those in need. For more information, contact club advisor Mischell Fryar at 715-365-9500 or [email protected].
