RHS FBLA/DECA club takes on Trick or Can food drive

Rhinelander High School’s FBLA/DECA club announced that its Trick or Can food drive collected more than 750 food items for the Rhinelander Area Food Pantry. Roughly 16 FBLA/DECA members participated over the course of the two-hour pickup time (from 1 to 3 p.m.) on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Trick or Can is a statewide DECA initiative that has been going on for a number of years. This is the seventh year Rhinelander’s FBLA/DECA chapter has hosted the event, and planning began in August and has slowly developed into the product that landed on the 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 seventh 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 involved,” the club stated.
