Tremont FFA members are making a difference in the lives of local children by building beds for families who are in need. The expense of purchasing beds is often out-of-reach for struggling families, leaving children to sleep in the floor or on other furniture. To date the group has built 29 beds. Members pictured front row, from left, J.T. Lentz, Trey Melson, Jacob Scott; and back row, from left Will Webb, Porsha Dempster, Luke Robinson and Logan Robinson.

Many organizations provide food, clothing and school supplies for struggling families, but members of Tremont Attendance Center’s Future Farmers of America (FFA) are tackling children’s need to have a restful night’s sleep.
