Shoemaker FCCLA Visits Children's Hospital
For Halloween
Shoemaker HS FCCLA visited the Children’s Hospital at Scott & White on Halloween to do a little reverse Trick-or-Treating and present the 47 patients with 26-page fall activity/coloring book that they created especially to send the children “NO tricks and ALL treats” by wishing them a “Happy Fall Y’all”. Shoemaker FCCLA also collected over 100 coloring book and crayon sets from the members that were donated to the Child Life department for future patients. Additionally, members were granted a fantastic opportunity to tour the hospital and meet with Scott & White Children’s Hospital Development office and the Child Life Specialists to discuss careers related to helping children and future holiday service learning opportunities and partnerships. It was a great experience for all that attended and participated. Shoemaker FCCLA is so grateful to have such an amazing service learning partnership with The Children’s Hospital at Scott and White and Children’s Miracle Network!

Shoemaker FCCLA led an incredible service learning project in which 833 lbs of canned food was collected and donated to the Killeen Food Care Center on Friday; November 18th at the annual Central Texas Food for Families drive at the Killeen Special Events Center. Additionally, 25 members donated 2 ˝ hours each of their time to take in, process, sort and box donations from hundreds of people and locations. We were greeted and addressed by Dr. Ann Farris, Executive Director of the Killeen Food Care Center, and were able to learn about all the services and people that they help each and every day. Additionally our students were featured and interviewed on the Channel 10 News at Noon for their generous donations and volunteer hours.
