HARVEST FOR ALL

According to the Food Bank Council of Michigan (FBCM), hunger is a reality for nearly a million Michigan people, young and old, who never imagined they would be dependent on food banks, pantries, shelters, and school lunch programs.

For that reason, Michigan Farm Bureau's Young Farmer and Promotion & Education Committees will be working with the FBCM and the Michigan Agricultural Surplus System (MASS) to encourage Farm Bureau members to help fight hunger in Michigan.
