CLARKSTON, WA — November 10, 2026 — The Clarkston FFA Chapter invites community members to help make a difference this holiday season by participating in its annual Stock the Trailer food drive and Christmas gift collection on Sunday, November 15, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Clarkston Walmart.

This year, Clarkston FFA members are collecting donations for two important local causes: the Asotin County Food Bank and Homes of Hope, which supports local foster children.

Throughout the event, Clarkston FFA members will be stationed outside Walmart collecting nonperishable food and personal care items donations to benefit the Asotin County Food Bank, helping provide food assistance to individuals and families facing food insecurity in the local community. The chapter’s goal is simple: fill the trailer with as many donations as possible while bringing the community together to support neighbors in need.

In addition to the food drive, Clarkston FFA will be collecting Christmas gifts for local foster children ranging in age from newborn to 17 years old. All gifts collected will be donated to Homes of Hope to help make the holiday season a little brighter for children in foster care. Community members are encouraged to consider picking up an extra toy, gift, or item for a child while shopping and dropping it off with FFA members.

Community members are encouraged to stop by, purchase a few extra nonperishable food items or a Christmas gift, and donate them to the FFA members stationed outside the store. All collected food items will be donated to the Asotin County Food Bank, and all Christmas gifts will be given to Homes of Hope. Every donation, no matter how large or small, helps make a difference.

These projects are more than just donation drives. They provide Clarkston FFA members with an opportunity to put the organization’s values of leadership, service, and community involvement into action. Through these events, students gain hands-on experience organizing community service initiatives while helping address real needs in their community.

The Clarkston FFA Chapter encourages residents, businesses, and community organizations throughout the Lewis-Clark Valley to come together and support these important causes. With the holiday season approaching, community generosity can help ensure local families have access to food and local foster children experience the joy of receiving a Christmas gift.
