Missouri Director of Agriculture Chris Chinn announced 21 youth organizations across the State of Missouri were awarded grants from the Missouri Department of Agriculture’s 2020 Building Our American Communities (BOAC) grant program. The total includes 10 Missouri FFA chapters and 11 Missouri 4-H clubs statewide, awarded funds for their community service projects this year. The list includes several local clubs.
Brookfield FFA, Brookfield (Linn County)
Bucklin FFA, Bucklin (Linn County)
South Harrison FFA, Bethany (Harrison County)
Mitchelville 4-H, New Hampton (Harrison County)
Director Chinn says “We hope that the BOAC grant program is the encouragement these young people need to initiate their own service projects.”
Each of the clubs will receive $500 toward their projects, which may include upgrades or additions to existing facilities, grounds or buildings, such as fairgrounds, parks or community centers used by local organizations.
