Faithful Ground Farms is proud to continue our participation in the Harvest for the Hungry Program. Please prayerfully consider how you can help those in need here in the Twin Cites.
Harvest for the Hungry (HFH) is an innovative program run by the Emergency Food Shelf Network here in the Twin Cities.
HFH is a partnership with local farms to provide fresh, locally grown produce to MN households facing hunger. Over 30 local farms produce food to help support 80+ local food shelves.
How it works...
All money raised by corporate sponsors or donated by CSA members is given to the Emergency Food Shelf Network (EFN) to aid local hunger relief. EFN pays a per pound rate to participating farmers who bring in fresh produce. EFN then distributes all of the produce to local area food shelves.
CSA member donors can give "a little extra" when they sign up for their CSA or at anytime during the year. They can also help by frequenting the businesses of the corporate sponsors.
Corporate sponsor Green Mill donates $1 for every large pizza sold on Tuesdays.
Corporate sponsor Finnegans Beer donates 100% of it's profits to HFH.
Corporate sponsor The Wedge donates a portion of profits to HFH.
Everybody wins...
Local communities win because they are able to support families in need with fresh local produce that is often hard to come by at food shelves.
CSA donors win because they feel great giving back to their local community. They know that 100% of their donation provides fresh, local produce, to families in need. They also win by getting a full tax deduction as well as enjoying great products when they purchase from The Green Mill, Finnegans, and The Wedge.
Local farmers win because they are able to provide high quality local produce to area food shelves while receiving per pound payments to help defer the cost of growing and delivering the produce.
Corporate sponsors win because they get to advertise and sell their products while they help people in the local community.
