According to Shameem Zia, Family, Consumer and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) secretary and junior, a fundraising event will be decided on for the Feed the Children project.

The committee is looking through the suggestions made by  club members. The deadline for fundraising is the FCCLA State Conference, which will take place from March 5 to 7.

The Feed the Children project is a FCCLA national initiative event. FCCLA sponsor Brooke Weekes said the purpose of the event is to raise money for children who are in need of food, medicine, clothing and other necessities.

Many of the children lack these necessities due to famine, war, poverty or natural disaster.
