We are excited to express our sincere thanks to the John Deere Foundation for their incredible support of Inter-Faith Food Shuttle. Their dedication to addressing food insecurity has long been evident, and their recent commitment to a 3-year funding structure is a testament to their ongoing impact.
Through their new initiative, the John Deere Foundation will award an impressive $6 million over the next three years in partnership with Feeding America. This generous support will give Feeding America food banks like us the flexibility to enhance and expand our programs, enabling us to better meet the needs of our community. In particular, this $54,000 general operating award could contribute to 28,125 healthy meals for neighbors in our service area.
The importance of this contribution cannot be overstated. It fuels our ability to deliver essential services and make meaningful change in our community. With this support, we can continue to provide vital resources to our neighbors, ensuring that no one in our area has to face hunger alone.
Thank you, John Deere Foundation, for your unwavering commitment and for making such a significant difference in the lives of so many. Your partnership is crucial to our mission, and we are excited to continue working together to create a stronger, healthier community.
