Mission Possible Receives $5,000 Donation

The America’s Farmers Grow Communities program, a Bayer Fund program, partners with farmers to provide grants to local nonprofits and schools to help their communities. Through the program, farmers enroll for the chance to direct a donation to a local eligible nonprofit organization or school of their choice.  In 2022, Bayer Fund doubled America’s Farmers Grow Communities individual donations from $2,500 to $5,000.

In Worth County, Pat Hardy recently won the opportunity to direct a $5,000 Bayer Fund America’s Farmers Grow Communities donation.  He picked Mission Possible Food Pantry and Thrift Store in Grant City to receive this donation. Mission Possible will use the funds to buy meat and other nutritious food for its food pantry clients.

“Food costs have risen for food pantries just as they have for every household.  We are so grateful for this donation which will enable us to restock our freezers and shelves for three months!” said Mary Kay Hunt, manager of Mission Possible’s food pantry.

Farmers can enroll for the opportunity to direct a 2023 Grow Communities donation starting on August 1, 2022. To learn more about the enrollment process and how America’s Farmers programs are making an impact, visit www.Americasfarmers.com. 

Al Mitchell, Bayer Fund president said, “Bayer Fund is proud to work side-by-side with farmers to identify local nonprofit organizations and schools that are improving rural communities in the areas of health and wellness, food and nutrition, and STEM and ag education.”
