The Warrenton FFA chapter is among 16 FFA and 4-H youth groups across Missouri that were recently awarded grants from the Missouri Department of Agriculture’s 2022 Building Our American Communities grant program. The grant program contributes funds for the organizations’ community service projects.
“We are proud to play a small part in these terrific projects spearheaded by 4-H and FFA students,” said Director of Agriculture Chris Chinn. “Fairgrounds, parks and town squares across the state have seen the benefit of the hard work and community spirit these students show. I applaud their efforts to make a difference in their communities.”
Each of the 2022 awardees 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.

Each year, youth organizations throughout Missouri submit proposals for consideration for the grants that support specific projects within each community. The grants are funded through Missouri’s Agriculture Development Fund under an agreement with the USDA.
4-H clubs and FFA chapters awarded grants this year must complete their projects no later than August 1, 2022.
