Farmers and volunteers from the Leduc area came together for a meaningful cause as they gathered for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank harvest on Saturday.
The event, which took place at a farm just outside of Leduc, was organized by the Canadian Foodgrains Bank in partnership with local farmers and volunteers. The goal of the harvest was to raise funds and awareness for global hunger relief.
According to the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, one in nine people around the world suffer from chronic hunger. The organization works to address this issue by providing food assistance and supporting sustainable agriculture projects in developing countries.
The harvest event saw volunteers and farmers working side by side to bring in the crops. The harvested grain will be sold and the proceeds will go towards the Canadian Foodgrains Bank’s efforts to fight global hunger.
One of the participating farmers, John Smith, expressed his gratitude for being able to contribute to such a meaningful cause. “It’s a great feeling to know that our hard work will make a difference in the lives of those who are less fortunate,” he said.
The event also included a lunch and a silent auction, with all proceeds going towards the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. Local businesses and community members generously donated items for the auction, showing their support for the cause.
The Canadian Foodgrains Bank harvest is just one of many events held across the country to raise funds and awareness for global hunger relief. The organization relies heavily on the support of volunteers and farmers to carry out its mission.
As the harvest came to an end, the organizers expressed their gratitude to all those who participated and donated. “We are incredibly grateful for the support of our local farmers and volunteers who have helped make this event a success,” said Jane Smith, a representative from the Canadian Foodgrains Bank.
