The Friona FCCLA organization is excited to partner with the city and help paint house numbers on driveways. The members arrive early Saturday mornings and divide into groups. They each fill their box with paint, stencils, brushes, gloves and masks. Members receive their list of addresses and head toward their locations. This community service project will help our emergency responders locate houses quickly and efficiently, potentially saving lives. Friona FCCLA members have worked for the last 3 weekends on this project and plan to finish by Dec.1st. Friona FCCLA is proud to support their community and look forward to more projects.
