In February 2013, the Clay Central Everly FFA chapter established the
"Mavpack" backpack program in their school district. Mavpacks are named
after the district's mascot and are distributed every Friday to students in
Preschool through 12th grade. Mavpacks contain 2 breakfast items, 2
snacks, and 2 lunches to help get hungry students through the weekend.
Mavpacks are packed each week by FFA members and are distributed by
the guidance counselor to ensure confidentiality.
In the 2013-14 school year there were 74 students enrolled in the Mavpack
program. This was nearly 25% of their total enrollment. This program is
funded entirely on community and church donations and grants.
