Young Leaders Collect $6,320.02 for Their “Grain for Groceries” Program
The Montgomery County Farm Bureau Young Leaders distributed $6,320.02 from their “Grain For Groceries” program to nine different food Pantries around the county. The Grain for Groceries program was intended to allow local farmers to give to their communities in a simple way. This past harvest farmers in Montgomery County donated corn and soybeans to the program that was then sold on behalf of the Young Leaders “Grain For Groceries” program. At the end of the harvest season the donations were collected from the elevators and were distributed to the local food pantries in the form of cash donations.
Donations were distributed based upon several factors, one which included community support.
This was the first year for this exciting new program and we appreciated the support of our local farmers.
