Burrittoville 2008!



'FarmHouse Burrittoville', an all-you-can-eat burritto buffet was hosted at the chapter house on Wednesday September 17th 2008!  Chapter members sold tickets to Greeks, ISU Students, Family, and Friends and filled our dining room with people who came to support our cause!  FarmHouse Burrittoville, which was started during the fall 2006 semester, supports the Iowa Heart Connection, an organization sponsoring children with cancer and their families to attend a week-long summer camp allowing them to get away from the stress of life with cancer for a short period of time.  

This year we served over 450 burrittos and over 350 people!


Thank you to everyone who came and supported the Iowa Heart Connection!  With your help, we were able to make a difference in the lives of many families who have been affected with cancer!



 
Feed the Need
The Men of FarmHouse held our annual spring philanthropy 'Feed the Need' FTN 002during VEISHEA week in the Spring 2008 semester.  'Feed the Need' consists of each room in the house being assigned a section of the Ames community to go out and place bags on the door handles of each house.  The bags have a note attached asking residents to fill them with non-perishable food and personal care items which will be donated to the Mid Iowa Community Action (MICA).  At the end of the week, members go back to their section of the community and pick up the filled bags.  We display the food we collected on our Non-Traditional VEISHEA Float in the VEISHEA Parade.  This year we collected a grand total of 7,912lbs ofFTN 012 non-perishable food and personal care items to be donated to MICA!

A special thank you to all local Ames Residents who have donated in the past!  Your support is very much appreciated!
