The Chapman FFA Chapter is organizing clean up efforts for local farmers after an EF4 tornado caused major damage in the rural area near that city.

FFA volunteers are encouraged to meet on Wednesday, June 8 at 8:30 a.m. in the Chapman district gym parking lot.

Farmers around Chapman are preparing for harvest, but the culmination of a year’s worth of work can only happen if debris in fields is gone. Volunteers are encouraged to wear hard soled shoes, gloves, jeans, sunscreen and bug spray. With help from local producers and the Chapman FFA Alumni Chapter, volunteers will walk the fields to do the cleanup.

A call for all volunteers willbe posted on the Chapman High School FFA Facebook page on Tuesday June 7 if room is available for more volunteers. If interested in helping potential volunteers shuld check that page for frequent updates.
