The Farmers Feeding Families Food Drive sponsored by Western AgCredit collected over 5,400 pounds of food. This food will go to the eight community food pantries where the food was donated, including The Lord’s Storehouse, the Cache Community Food Pantry, the Tremonton Food Pantry, the Utah Food Bank, Tabitha’s Way, Central Utah Food Sharing, Iron County Care and the Duchesne County Food Pantry.

“We are thrilled at the support the Farmers Feeding Families Food Drive received in its first year, and we look forward to continuing this food drive on an annual basis,” said Richard Weathered, Western AgCredit president. “The support from our customers as well as the general public was incredible, and we are pleased to report that an additional $10,000 from Western AgCredit and our funding source, CoBank, will be used to match the donations received.”

The purpose of this food drive was to support rural communities, so the funds will go to the local food pantries in the communities where donations were received. Donations were matched two dollars for every pound of food collected up to the first 5,000 pounds.
