ISFFA COMMUNITY SERVICE
LA Regional Food Bank
On March 7, 2015, the National Board and Los Angeles Chapter officers of ISFFA spent their morning at Los Angeles Regional Food Bank to support the drive to help fight hunger. Volunteers from ISFFA and other participating organizations sorted, inspected and repackaged donated perishable items collected from local food drives. The collective efforts by everyone involved in this activity had a tremendous impact on communities in city of LA and surrounding cities who are in need of food.
