Bruce and Grey County Beef Farmers donated $4,000 to Grey Bruce Food Share to help fight food insecurity in the region.
“As beef farmers, it’s our mission to help feed our community with good, nutritious food,” said Calvin Anstett, president of Bruce County Beef Farmers. “At Christmas, when so many families are feeling the strain, that mission feels even more important.”
The donation will supply high-quality, nutritious beef to food banks and community meal programs during a time of high need.
The Grey Bruce Food Share distribution hub in Owen Sound rescues and redistributes surplus food to more than 25 local food banks and community charities across the counties, as well as an OSHaRE program.
The two groups said Grey Bruce Food Share does essential work year-round to support those experiencing food insecurity and encourages others to support local food programs.
“The Beef Farmers of Ontario has long been a strong advocate for grassroots donations to the local food banks,” said Matt McKinnon,Grey County Beef Farmers Association. We’re proud to continue that tradition here in Grey and Bruce.”
