Imagine a world without hunger.

- increasing and deepening the involvement of Canadians in efforts to end hunger
- supporting partnerships and activities to reduce hunger on an immediate and sustainable basis
- influencing changes in public policies necessary to end hunger
The organization uses the aspect of agriculture to gain food donations from communities across Canada. When my dad volunteered, he helped combine acres of grain just outside of Lacombe. It's an amazing thing to see that agriculture and the desire to help the less fortunate has the ability to bring people together.
COMMUNITY GROWING PROJECTS
Community growing projects are a unique way for people to contribute grain and other agricultural commodities to help people who are hungry around the world. The Canadian Foodgrains Bank asks for donations through the growing project of certain crops including wheat, corn, barley, soybeans,peas, canola, sweet corn, silage and pumpkins.Projects range from 1/4 acre to several hundred acres. A typical project involves a group of people working together to farm a common plot of land. After the harvest, the production is donated through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank to their church members for overseas food and agricultural development projects.
I find this organization so intriguing because it allows agriculture related communities to donate their time and effort that will have such a huge positive result! Please check out the website posted below to the site for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, its an awesome site and has numerous other ways in which you can get involved or donate towards such a great cause.
Agriculturally involved people helping agriculturally in need people across the world!
