Bruce County Beef Farmers and the Grey County Beef Farmers Association are proud to announce a joint donation of almost $4,000 to Grey Bruce Food Share this holiday season, supporting ongoing efforts to address food insecurity across the region.
Grey Bruce Food Share, located in Owen Sound, is a collaborative food distribution hub that rescues and redistributes surplus food to more than 25 local food banks and community charities throughout Grey and Bruce counties, and a program of OSHaRE. This donation will help ensure that high-quality, nutritious beef is available to food banks and community meal programs at a time of year when the need is especially high.
“As beef farmers, it’s our mission to help feed our community with good, nutritious food,” says Calvin Anstett, President of the Bruce County Beef Farmers. “And at Christmas—when so many families are feeling the strain—that mission feels even more important. We’re grateful to be able to support our neighbours in a meaningful way.”
“Giving back to our community is at the heart of what we do,” says Matt McKinnon of the Grey County Beef Farmers Association. “The Beef Farmers of Ontario has long been a strong advocate for grassroots donations to local food banks, and we’re proud to continue that tradition here in Grey and Bruce.”
The Bruce County Beef Farmers and Grey County Beef Farmers Association extend their gratitude to Grey Bruce Food Share for the vital work they do year-round and encourage others to support local food programs this holiday season.
At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.
South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
Please consider supporting South Grey News with a donation in lieu of a subscription fee and let us know that our efforts are appreciated. Thank you.
