Community

Community Service over the summer of 2023 has been one with bustling ideas from the bright state of Florida, and we are here to share that with you. Whilst many believe that Community Service is about volunteering time to help, while you wouldn’t be entirely wrong, Florida FCCLA wanted to do it slightly different Florida FCCLA’s State VP of Community Service, Gabriel Long and the rest of the State Executive Council decided that finding sources of funding for future and current Community Service efforts would be the best choice to help the most people as possible.

Through this thinking the ‘10% Rule’ was formed. In a short glimpse, it allows local chapters to choose if they would like to donate 10% of what they fundraise for their chapter and give it to what the state community service project is. Which this year is still helping to build wells for local villages in Africa. Our partners at WeHelpTwo also support this project and another way we help support these villages is by the proceeds of the socks that are bought This partnership allows FCCLA and all those that contribute to help thousands of people who do not have the same lucky situation of healthy water and clean socks everyday like most of us do

The new school year is rapidly approaching and with affiliation opening on August 1st, we are so excited to welcome new and returning members to our Florida Association.
