KIRKSVILLE, MO -- One Kirksville High School organization is asking for your help to a great cause.

The Kirksville FFA is holding a fundraiser from now through mid-October.

You can buy items for those on your holiday gift list from cookie dough to fruit, and meat.

The proceeds from the fundraiser will help the Kirksville FFA with funds, events throughout the year, and send some of their top students to the big National FFA Convention.

"The first thing the fundraiser really helps is the kids going to the national convention in Indianapolis in a few weeks. It's the biggest conference that the entire nation of all FFA chapters comes. You learn a lot about FFA and just hang out together," said Kirksville FFA Member Morgan Baker.

The items you order in this fundraiser will be delivered to you in December just in time for the holidays.

If you are interested in helping out, you can call the Ag Department at Kirksville High School at (660) 665-2865.
