Here’s some of our photos from our service day! Here’s just a few of our farms we went too. Let us know if you recognize any of our fairs or there doors! We are so grateful for all our helpers deliver to our farms and make it a great service day!💛💙

During homecoming week last week on Wednesday we had our Fall Service Day. Our chapter had our annual Thank a Farmer service project. Each vehicle had 3-5 of our members, and they had between 7-25 buckets to deliver. Our members covered 241 West Dubuque Community District farms. These buckets had items like shop towels, first aid kits, sandwiches, and many more items we got donated by local businesses. It was a successful day with our members going and talking to our community farm members about their harvest season. 💛💙
