4-H


Feeding Missouri and the Drive to Feed Kids provides you with the opportunity to bring hope to thousands of Missouri communities by providing meals during this difficult time,” said Lupita Fab- regas, director of the University of Missouri 4-H Center for Youth Development. This year, through a


donation from Mis- souri Farmers Care, 4- H clubs can apply for matching mini-grants. These grants will help clubs further


their


local efforts during the drive. “We are thrilled Mis-


souri 4-H is partnered with the Missouri Farmers Care Drive to Feed Kids,” said Ash- ley McCarty, Missouri Farmers Care execu- tive director. “Farmers across the state work 365 days a year to pro- duce abundance from our fields and farms. However, the stark re- ality is that abundance does not reach all our neighbors’ dinner ta-


bles. The Drive to Feed Kids and its partners demonstrate the heart of Missouri agricul- ture. We can’t wait to see the energy, enthu- siasm and passion Missouri 4-H members pour into 4-H Feeding Missouri


and our


shared goal of reduc- ing food insecurity.” For more information
