First Baptist Church of Appleton City and AC FFA have paired up this year to make an impact in the local community by campaigning for canned food and other non-perishable food items to stay local and be donated to West Central’s food pantry, in AC. Representatives from both FBC and AC FFA will be out the afternoon of Monday, October 18 to distribute empty grocery sacks with a note attached on how to fill the sack and when and where to leave it for pickup. Look for those empty sacks on your front porches and doorsteps. On Wednesday, October 20, First Baptist Church Team KIDS attendees (children ages kindergarten through 5th grade) will pick up bags on the north side of the city, while AC FFA will pick up bags on the south side of the city.
