CAMPBELL COUNTY, TN (WLAF)- This year’s Leadership Campbell Count Class is taking up food donations and monetary donations to be donated to Food Life Services in La Follette as their class project.
According to this year’s Leadership Campbell County Chairman MelishA Willis, it’s been a number of years since Leadership Campbell County has participated in a community service project.
“We let the class choose a planned project day. The committee voted and chose to do a food drive for Food Life Services. It has been many years since the last community project, which is why this is such an opportunity to share awareness about our county. It has been an honor to support and work with this leadership class of Campbell County. I hope the future classes of Leadership of Campbell County, follow the 25/26 example,” Willis said
Leadership Campbell County is an annual program sponsored by the Campbell County Chamber of Commerce. The goal of the program is to provide participants with the opportunity to build relationships, serve the community and engage with political, civic and business leaders. The program consists of nine monthly, full day sessions held in various locations in the county. Participants are educated about Campbell County and its many advantages and meet and talk with the region’s current leaders, as well as explore the county’s business sector. Topics may include education, health and human services, law and justice, business and technology, industry, tourism and more.
Willis and leadership class members extended a thank you to all who participate in the food drive.
Donations will continue to be taken for the next month, with food to be delivered on February 19.
Organizers said there are several businesses in the community that have boxes set out for the food drive.
You may drop food and monetary donations off at Peoples Bank of the South (LaFollette Branch), Powell Clinch Utilities, LaFollette Utilities or Clinch River Castings. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED-01/20/2026-6AM)
