What year did the "Give the Gift of Blue" program begin?

The "Give the Gift of Blue" program was initiated in 2014 as part of the National FFA Organization's efforts to support students and promote agricultural education. This program allows individuals and organizations to donate blue FFA jackets to deserving students who may not otherwise have the means to purchase one. The initiative embodies the values of the FFA, such as leadership, community support, and fostering agricultural education opportunities. The launch year, 2014, aligns with FFA's commitment to enhancing the growth and impact of its members through tangible resources and recognition.
