On Friday October 29th, the Chadron High School Future Business Leaders of America chapter separated into several groups and went door to door throughout the community "trick or treating" for canned goods.
FBLA organizes this event every year to collect cans to donate back to the Immanuel Lutheran church for their food pantry. The students collected around 250 to 300 cans this year.
This event has been a tradition for several years at Chadron High. FBLA participants dress up in their costumes, and the group that collects the most cans is the new champion. Not only is this event fun for the members, but it's a good way to give back to the community.
The FBLA sponsors, Mrs. Noble and Mrs. Budler, have organized this event since 2005 and hope to keep the tradition going.
Some of the students that participated were Greta Welch, Kaci Waugh, Alyssa Noble, and Myia Haymaker.
Kaci Waugh said, "By taking a little time out of my day, I am helping out my community and collecting cans that will go to a very noble cause." Waugh also said community service was one of her favorite things about FBLA and their Feed Nebraska campaign.
