Harvest for All

During the 2008 YF&R Leadership Conference in Monterey, California Young Farmers & Ranchers donated canned foods and other food items, enough to fill the bed of a truck. Contributions from sponsors were donated to the silent auction where CA YF&Rs placed bids. We raised 225 pounds of food and $3,093, benefiting America's Second Harvest and the Harvest for All program.

The California Farm Bureau Federation Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee, in conjunction with the American Farm Bureau YF&R Committee, works with America's Second Harvest to help feed the millions of Americans who face hunger.

It's America's first harvesters helping America's Second Harvest in what we call a "Harvest for All." As the people who grow food for the table, our farmers and ranchers want to assist America's Second Harvest-the nation's largest domestic hunger-relief organization-in making sure everyone has a place at the table.

The California YF&R Committee encourages its members in every county to donate food to local charities.
