What is an example of a community service project an FCCLA chapter might undertake?

Organizing a food drive for local families in need is a clear example of a community service project because it directly addresses a critical issue within the community—food insecurity. Such a project not only supports those in need but also raises awareness about community resources and encourages participation from chapter members and the broader community. The goal of FCCLA is to promote personal growth and leadership development through Family and Consumer Sciences education, and participating in a food drive perfectly aligns with these goals by fostering empathy, teamwork, and community engagement among members.

Other options, while they may involve some aspect of school or community involvement, do not meet the primary aim of community service. Hosting a non-charity event, for instance, does not focus on helping others or addressing a community need. Marketing school events and conducting research on student preferences contribute to school activities or information gathering but lack the direct impact on the broader community that a food drive provides.
