The South Dakota FFA Foundation has awarded $4,000 in grants for local FFA Chapter Service Learning Projects. Foundation Executive Director Gerri Eide says each local chapter decides which projects they’ll do and then applies for the assistance.

She says there are a wide variety of projects the local FFA chapters are working on.

Eide says the funding they provided the local chapter comes from a grant the foundation received from the TC Energy foundation.

Eide says the FFA motto includes the words Living to Serve and that’s what these projects exemplify.
