David Crockett FFA, Washington Co. Long-Term Recovery Group hosting plant drive for rebuilt flood homes
JONESBOROUGH, Tenn. (WJHL) — David Crockett High School's (DCHS) Future Farmers of America (FFA) and the Washington County Long-Term Recovery Group are teaming up to host a plant drive supporting families who have flood-damaged homes being rebuilt.
DCHS FFA posted on social media that it is seeking volunteers and various tree and shrub donations throughout May. Donated plants will be used to beautify newly built or repaired houses along the Nolichucky River.
Dozens of homes near the river were either wiped out or severely damaged during Hurricane Helene's floods. DCHS FFA said it's working with the Washington County Long-Term Recovery Group to gather plant donations and volunteers to help beautify rebuilt homes.
FFA leaders said donations can be dropped off at David Crockett High School. Next week, announcements will be made regarding additional drop-off points and community partnerships. News Channel 11 will provide updates when those announcements are made.
DCHS FFA provided the following flyer that gives donation suggestions:

We are excited to announce Nolichucky Blooms! A plant drive is being hosted throughout our chapter in partnership with Washington County's Long-term recovery group. With this plant drive, we are looking for volunteers and donations to help us beautify newly built houses along the river that were damaged by Hurricane Helene. The drop-off location at the moment is at David Crockett High School. As we go we will have partnerships and other drop-off locations to be announced at a later date. We are so excited to get this plant drive going and can't wait to see how our community helps and comes together this next month or two!
