Subject: Donations for food to Ukraine



Chebanse, IL.....

Growmark is heading up a food donation program for Ukraine. There's a link to click that will take you to the donation page. I assume Growmark, the Midwest Food Bank, and Tender Mercies to be as legit as possible in their quest to help. Bear in mind that money donations will end up as food to Ukraine. I would hope everything donated ends up where you hope it's intended. Here is the article copy/paste as it was presented on the Prairie Farmer website:

How you can help Growmark help Ukraine

Growmark is partnering with the Midwest Food Bank to collect donations for Tender Mercies, a program providing food relief directly in Ukraine. You can donate directly to the Growmark foundation, and the foundation will match the first $5,000 donated.

“This is a specific point in history when we have the opportunity to live out our noble purpose ‘to help feed and fuel the world,’” says Ann Kafer, Growmark executive vice president. “Partnering with Midwest Food Bank to get high-protein, easy-to-use food into Ukraine through reputable partners is a blessing and squarely in line with who we are as an agricultural cooperative system.”

Midwest Food Bank is based in Normal, Ill., but partnerships with groups around the world to provide food relief during disasters through its Tender Mercies program. Tender Mercies are high-protein, shelf-stable food packets that can be prepared using only boiling water, making them ideal for people who may not have access to normal cooking facilities. To aid in Ukraine relief, Midwest Food Bank has partnered with Convoy of Hope, which is working on the ground in Ukraine and nearby countries to distribute food and other supplies to those who need them most. You can donate online
