Our FFA members are collecting old blue jeans or denim products to benefit our local farm bureau. The denim can be ripped/torn/stained--it doesn't matter! If you need some extra room in your closet or dresser before the holidays, feel free to drop off any old jeans in room 109 between now and Friday.
