Pryor FFA Canned Food Drive
On Saturday November 12, Pryor FFA members went door to door throughout the town of Pryor asking residents if they would like to donate cans. Dedicated FFA members showed responsibility by going out in the cold weather and stepping out of their comfort zone to help others. When added up, the total weight of all the cans was 2,264 pounds.
All of the donations will be donated to the PHS food pantry and Pryor ministries.
