Farmers to Families® Food Boxes
Feeding Families
Farmers to Families® injects financial assistance to struggling farmers and food distributors who might otherwise close due to COVID. Farmers provide milk, eggs, beef and poultry, cheese, sour cream, potatoes and fruit to Government awarded food distributors. Food distributors then work with non-profits like POWER placing 1,404 pre-packed boxes on a tractor trailer for distribution to those in need within their communities.
