From Sept. 1 to Dec. 15, Collegiate Farm Bureau members are encouraged to help fight hunger by competing against other Collegiate chapters across the state. The chapter contributing the most volunteer hours, cash and pounds of collected food will be recognized at the state level and take home $250 to distribute to a hunger-relief organization of their choice.
Only donations and volunteer hours contributed by Collegiate Farm Bureau members or collected at a Collegiate Farm Bureau event count toward the chapter’s total.
Collegiate efforts can count toward a county and/or district HFA total, although Collegiate chapters will need to separate their specific contribution of donations and volunteer hours during a county event to submit toward the Collegiate contest.
County Farm Bureaus can connect with their Collegiate advisor and chapter to maximize the potential impact on the local community, as well as the individual impact on the collegiate members.
Collegiate totals are due by Dec. 15 to MFB Young Farmer Manager Katie Eisenberger. County Farm Bureaus’ Harvest for All district totals are due to Young Farmer Programs and Communications Specialist Megan Sprague by Dec. 31.
