The Spring Branch FFA is working closely with this rescue
organization to help meet its goals. Lone Star Equine Rescue
is a non-profit organization dedicated to the improvement
and preservation of equines across the state of Texas as
it rehabilitates neglected and abused horses then place
them is new, safe homes.
.: Neighbors
In Need -
Through the Texas FFA, this program helps the disabled,
both children and adults, participate in the joys of agriculture
despite their handicaps. The majority of people with disabilities
who work or live in an agricultural setting want to continue
doing so regardless of their disabilities, and chapter members
help these people overcome whatever frustration and obstacles
they may have.

Awareness/ Keep Texas Beautiful -
This project includes vast opportunities for the chapter
members. It includes activities such as Adopt-A-Highway,
planting flowers or trees for beatification and more. The
goal is to spread the importance of environmental awareness
throughout the community as well as the students.

impact your community. Come, join. Be a part to make a difference.
