Agent Charitable Fund raises $65K to feed Michigan families

Farm Bureau’s Agent Charitable Fund held its third annual statewide fundraiser May 18, with 180 supporters raising over $65,000 to feed hungry neighbors across the state. This year’s event was hosted at the Pohlcat Golf Course and Soaring Eagle Casino and Resort in Mount Pleasant, and featured a golf scramble, strolling dinner and live auction.  

The ACF partners with agents and counties to facilitate hunger-relief grants and donation matches across the state. 

A donor-designated fund administered through the Michigan Foundation for Agriculture, the ACF is a 501(c)(3) governed by Michigan Farm Bureau’s board of directors, positively contributes to the future of Michigan agriculture through leadership and educational programming. Through grant programs like Feeding the Future, Farm Bureau agents, clients and partners provide food and educational programs to Michigan residents struggling with hunger and aid the more than 3,000 hunger-relief agencies throughout the state.  Angela was honored to be apart of this event.
