Disaster Relief
Texans have seen the devastation Hurricane Harvey has and continues to cause along the Gulf Coast and throughout Southeast Texas. This significant weather event has caused damage and flooding to homes, farms, schools, roads and cities. Members of the Agricultural Education Family in Texas and across the nation have asked how they can help FFA chapters and agricultural education programs that have been hit hard by this tragedy. The Texas FFA Association/Texas Team Ag Ed will seek to provide the most up-to-date information on the relief efforts from this event.
