We are thrilled to partner with River Bluff Industries, to keep their employees working with this fun project. Have you ever been concerned about what you can give someone when they are at the local intersection asking for help? What do you do, for the unhoused when you see them? This is how we created the BLESSING BAG project. Bags of personal care items that can make someone feel valued or seen. Those items that we take for granted, in a bag along with a personal motivational note. Purchase these bags to keep in your car or to give out at your businesses, they are ready and available for pick up at River Bluff Industries.

We sure enjoyed hosting this FFA group. Thank you to our employee Ben, who gave a great history, introduction of career paths and an overarching tour of the dredging operation and our river transportation. We hope that some of these students may come back to submit an application one day. Thanks to their great Advisors for bringing them down.
