THE CANADIANS FOODGRAINS BANK
Canadian Foodgrains Bank, volunteer farmers and Viterra celebrated their
seventh consecutive year of working together toward ending global hunger
last month. Just over 180 acres of land were provided at Viterra facilities in
Stettler and Trochu in Alberta as well as Balgonie, Raymore and Grenfell in
Saskatchewan. Some of the land plots are traditional growing projects cultivated
by a community group, while others are farmed by individual farmers who take
on the few extra acres as part of their own. Once the crops are harvested, the
proceeds from the sale of the crop are donated to the Foodgrains Bank and can be
used to respond to hunger around the world.
“In a year when the world is dealing with unprecedented levels of hunger, we’re
appreciative of Viterra’s continued commitment to raising funds for humanitarian
and development projects,” says Foodgrains Bank executive director Andy
Harrington. Projects funded include humanitarian responses to help people
affected by conflict and natural disasters as well as development projects that
help lift people out of poverty in the longer-term, often by providing agricultural
training.

VITERRA OCTOBER MONTH OF GIVING
October played host to Viterras 8th annual month of giving. We offered a
variety of options to particpate and support great causes including:
• Regina Food Bank’s annual Food Drive
• Jeans Day and 50/50 Raffles
• STARS Calendar Campaign

$1790.00 was donated to The Canadian Cancer Society. Thank you to everyone
who was able to participate in supporting these worthy causes.
