Waukon Veterinary Service provides support to local FFA chapter

Recently, the Waukon Veterinary Service partnered with Zoetis and the National FFA Organization to donate $700 to the Little Switzerland FFA chapter at Waukon High School through the FFA Support Program. Since its start in 2008, the program has provided more than $6.5 million dollars to local FFA chapters across the nation. The donated funds are provided to chapters through the sale of medical products, such as those purchased by local animal owners from Waukon Veterinary Service. The Zoetis Industry Support Program is a company devoted to supporting the development of individual FFA chapters. The donated funds will be used to provide contest materials and other necessities for the local chapter. Waukon Veterinary Service has been donating to the chapter for many years, and that support has allowed the chapter to reach out to more students through their participation in FFA contests.
