SOAR Leadership Community Service Project

By Tony Rose
Adair County Extension Agent for 4-H Youth Development

The Adair County Cooperative Extension SOAR Leadership program is excited to launch a friendly Canned Food Battle between our small-town, local banks! Two banks, one mission and a whole lot of canned goods.

Drop off your donations at either:
  • Bank of Columbia at the Main Office

  • First & Farmers National Bank at the Columbia Main Office
Collection dates are March 20 through April 3, 2026. All collected items will be donated to JOY Ministries to help support families in need right here in our community. This is a competition for a great cause. Help your favorite bank win and help fill the shelves at JOY Ministries!

A component of the Leadership program is a community service project. We are proud to have both of these banks represented in our group among many other businesses and organizations. Thank you for supporting our SOAR participants as they work to make a positive impact.


The Step Out and Rise (SOAR) Program is a nine-month leadership development initiative sponsored by the Adair County Cooperative Extension Service and led by the Extension Agents. This program is designed to strengthen the leadership skills of current and future leaders, empowering them to make a greater impact in our community.
