The Freeman FFA was awarded a grant through the South Dakota FFA Foundation using funds raised on Giving Tuesday. This included a match grant from Wendy Mortenson Agency/American Family Insurance. The funds provided eight FFA chapters with sets of ten FFA jackets for their chapters. Through a competitive application process of the SD FFA Foundation, the following FFA chapters have been selected to receive the funds: Baltic, Brandon Valley, Brookings, Doland, Freeman, Hoven, Newell, and Wilmot. Chapter-owned jackets are used by any FFA member that doesn’t own so they can borrow as needed. Thank you SD FFA Foundation and Wendy Mortenson Agency!
