The Warsaw FFA Chapter has officially launched its annual fruit sales fundraiser, offering a variety of fresh fruit, cheeses, sausages, jams and specialty gift boxes.
This year’s selection includes apples, pears, oranges, pineapples and grapefruit, along with sampler boxes and cheese-and-sausage assortments. All products are supplied by Blue Freedom Fresh Fruit Company, ensuring top-quality, fresh shipments directly to Warsaw Community High School (WCHS), according to a news release from Warsaw Community Schools.
“The fruit sale is one of our biggest fundraisers each year and helps make so many opportunities possible for our members,” said Abigail Gordon, Warsaw FFA Chapter treasurer. “Every purchase directly supports our students as they develop leadership skills and compete in state and national events.”
Proceeds from the sale help fund student participation in the National FFA Convention, the Indiana State FFA Convention and various Career and Leadership Development Events (CDE/LDEs) such as crops, forestry, and livestock evaluation, welding, parliamentary procedure and public speaking. Funds also support FFA Week activities and community service projects throughout the year.
Fruit sales run through Nov. 12, with deliveries scheduled for the week of Dec. 8, just in time for Christmas. To place an order, contact any Warsaw FFA member or reach the Warsaw Community High School Agriculture Department at 574-371-5099, ext. 2353.
