> 
> YSA recognizes the student members of Albion Future Farmers of America from Albion,
> New York, for their work to ensure that community members in need have access to
> food.
> 
> On December 10, Albion FFA students delivered 9,000 pounds of produce to Community
> Action of Orleans & Genesee, a nonprofit organization that provides services for
> low-income and disadvantaged families. The FFA delivered 3,000 pounds of food to
> Community Action last year, and this is the first time the group tried to connect
> food from Orleans farms to local food pantries. The FFA set a goal to double that
> output this year. FFA students asked local farms to donate some of their produce
> and several farmers showed their generosity, surpassing the FFA goal.
> 
> For their commitment to supporting local food pantries and engaging local farmers
> in the fight against hunger, we honor the Albion FFA members as Everyday Young Heroes.
> 
> To nominate a young person who has improved their community through service to be
> recognized as an Everyday Young Hero, please visit www.ysa.org/awards/hero.
