Storm and Chelsey Massey are doing a lot more than just counting down the days until Christmas. They have been counting pounds of meat too! The Stoddard County Gospel Mission has been receiving many donations throughout this holiday season but the Masseys have made a great impact on the families receiving food from the Gospel Mission this year.
Storm, a freshman at Dexter High School and a member of the wrestling team, and his sister Chelsey, a junior at Dexter High School and the current FFA (Future Farmers of America) President of the Dexter chapter, have been raising a hog named “Betty” for the past three years and this was the year that they decided to donate Betty’s meat to the Stoddard County Gospel Mission.
The brother and sister have received a lot of help and support from the community while taking on this huge project. But this is not their first rodeo, in fact, this is the second time that the duo has raised a pig and donated it to the Mission and to local families in need.
Ed Stole of the Meat Shop helped the Masseys get Betty processed. The seven hundred and thirty-six pound hog was processed and donated five hundred pounds worth of fresh meat to the local mission. The duo has proved to make a great team and their hard work and dedication will definitely be making a difference in the lives of the local families this year.
