Each year, the Pennsylvania Future Business Leaders of America (PA FBLA) selects a statewide nonprofit to assist through fundraising, community service, and education. For its 2021-22 state project, PA FBLA selected Feeding Pennsylvania, the statewide association of Feeding America food banks. Through the state project, named "Bank on tomorrow by feeding the need today," PA FBLA raised over $25,517. The donation will be distributed among Feeding Pennsylvania's nine member food banks, which serve all 67 counties across the commonwealth through their 3,000 partner agencies.

In addition to the funds raised, PA FBLA chapters across the state led fundraising events, volunteered, shared on social media, and participated in Feeding Pennsylvania's annual advocacy campaign, "Hear the PA Crunch," to help raise awareness of hunger in their communities.

Contributions will continue to be accepted from chapters until Monday, June 20. For more information on the partnership between PA FBLA and Feeding Pennsylvania, visit https://bit.ly/pa-fbla-21-22-state-project.
