Recognizing tremendous need in their communities, Illinois FFA Chapters and Collegiate Farm Bureaus raised a total of 206,084.37 pounds of food, volunteer 7,482.75 hours and donated $54,897.42 during the 2024-25 “Harvest for All” campaign.

Top FFA sections and chapters, and the top Collegiate Farm Bureaus, were recently recognized for their outstanding efforts. Harvest for All is a statewide service program led by Illinois Farm Bureau (IFB) that supports local communities by addressing food insecurity through volunteerism, food donations and fundraising.

“Harvest for All is a powerful example of students turning service into real-world impact,” said Taylor Hartke, Illinois Farm Bureau youth and collegiate program coordinator. “It’s inspiring to see students step up to combat food insecurity and support those in need. Whether it’s through food drives, volunteering, or organizing fundraisers, these students are making a tangible difference, tailoring their efforts to meet the specific needs of their communities in meaningful ways.”

Mahomet-Seymour, Peotone and Streator FFA are among the chapters recognized.
