In recognition of Canada’s Agriculture Day, a day to celebrate the business of farming in Canada, the Kent Federation of Agriculture coordinated local food donations and monetary contributions to the Salvation Army and Outreach for Hunger Food Banks in Chatham-Kent.
“Chatham-Kent producers offer fresh, high-quality food to the world with an abundancy available at local markets, stores, and farms,” KFA officials said in a media release.
“We are thankful for our good fortune and the ability to share with those experiencing food insecurities.”
KFA officials added: “Locally grown food, and other food/sundry products plus funds totalled approximately $14,000, all going directly to our local food banks.”
The KFA, and the KFA Canada’s Agriculture Day Committee said they would like to convey a heartfelt thank you to all donors and supporters.
“The KFA, the CK food banks, and local families struggling with food challenges amid the rising costs of groceries, truly appreciate each donation.”
