FHA Ideas

Members of the Lassen High School FHA-HERO Chapter are getting ready to leave the high school to serve 300 students at the first ever Lassen County "Lit-Jam" activity.  With the help of the Foods Classes, members prepared turkey wraps, cookies, oranges and chips as a fund-raising activity.

 

FHA-HERO Week Ideas

(Just the Beginning of Endless Possibilities)

  1. Identify each day with a special event or project.

  2. Focus on the state project thrusts or national programs. Use one program as a theme for the week or select a different program to focus on each day.

  3. Speak out about FHA-HERO through school announcements, bulletin boards, and displays.

  4. If you are focusing on community service for the week, contact an agency/agencies for items that are needed. Collect different donations each day (socks, washcloths,
    toothbrushes, toothpaste, combs, baby clothes, cleaning supplies, food, etc.)

  5. Label each day with the item – Toothbrush Tuesday or Washcloth Wednesday – that your chapter is collecting.

  6. Contact at-risk shelters and find out their needs. (Example: new or gently used sweatshirts are collected by shelters to help teens and adults who are living on the street.)

  7. Ask your governor or mayor to declare a proclamation recognizing FHA-HERO week in your state/community.

  8. Create public service announcements for television and radio stations, develop a video for your local cable television, and write a press release for your local newspaper and school/community website.
