HUGE congratulations to Addy Stuever Battel, the 2021 National Winner in the Service Learning Proficiency!

Through her SAE, Addy started an organization called Meating the Need for Our Village. Meating the Need for Our Village began after Addy’s hometown grocery store closed leaving dollar stores and food pantries as the only places to access food in the community. The project empowers young people to provide local food pantries with high quality sources of protein and produce. Meating the Need for Our Village has had a $63,000 impact on the community through, meat, milk, eggs, butter, cheese and produce donated to seven local food pantries.

This award is the culmination of years of hard work, selflessness, and genuine passion for making the world a better place through agriculture. Again, Congratulations to Addy Stuever Battel of Cass City FFA!
