Western AgCredit is proud to sponsor the Farmers Feeding Families Food Drive going on now until December 13, 2013. The purpose of the drive is to collect non-perishable donations for local food pantries. All donations will be matched at one dollar per pound up to $10,000. Matching funds will be contributed by Western AgCredit and CoBank.

“We are grateful to have the opportunity to give back to the communities that have helped build our company through the Farmers Feeding Families Food Drive,” said Western AgCredit President Richard Weathered. “Producing food is a passion for our customers, the farmers and ranchers in the Intermountain West, and we want to do our part to ensure that all of our neighbors have access to food.”

Donations can be made at all Western AgCredit locations. Donations will go to benefit local food banks.
