Larsen Co-op Taking Part in CHS Harvest for Hunger
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 02/27/2017
CHS Larsen Cooperative is gathering donations of money, food and crops to help fight hunger. As part of CHS Harvest for Hunger food and fund drive, the company will accept contributions from March 1-20 at its locations in New London, Readfield, Center
Valley, Weyauwega, Larsen, and Oconto Falls, which will then be delivered to local food pantries.
"Hunger is a reality for more than 40 million people in America, including 13.1 million children," says Larsen Co-op Manager Todd Reif. "Every dollar we raise through CHS Harvest for Hunger can purchase six pounds of food through our food banks."
Financial donations are encouraged because they enable food banks to leverage their buying power to provide nutritious food at deeply discounted rates.
Last year, Larsen Cooperative raised nearly $5,400 and over 1,890 pounds of food as part of the effort.
