In recognition of the National Food Check-out Week, volunteers from our county Farm Bureau went to Jay's IGA in our hometown to pass out nutritional and farm facts. While there, we also asked for shoppers to donate their change to the local Samaritan's Purse and The Ronald McDonald Houses.
My girls got right involved! Especially when I told them that the money was going to the RMD houses. Cora Jane was old enough to remember the children that we met while staying there and she wants to do all she can to help them and their families. This organization will always be near and dear to our family's heart.
By sharing with the consumer some facts about their food products they're able to paint a clearer picture of the whole industry. We need to educate shoppers of the nutritional value products have. And who better to do that then the farmer themselves. During Food Check-Out Week, farmers and ranchers are talking about modern animal agriculture and how they're proud to provide abundant, nutritious food for their local communities as well as consumers around the globe.
Thank you so much for supporting The Food Check-Out Week. All Facebook people please go to The Food Check-Out Week wall and become a fan. For every fan they will donate $1 to the Ronald McDonald Houses (up to $5,000).
God is good....ALL the time,
