Carroll County Farm Bureau is holding its first annual Grocery Grab event next month during National Agriculture Week. Carroll County Farm Bureau President Jason Nees says they were looking for a fun way to help local organizations while celebrating the agricultural industry and its impact on our local economy.
The event will take place at Fareway in Carroll on March 21, where teams of local ag businesses will compete for the champion trophy. Board Member Marie Pudenz says the primary goal is to achieve as close to a $250 grocery bill as possible with items requested from the local food pantries.
Nees encourages any business in the ag field to get a team signed up.
All food or money raised will be divided and donated to the Community of Concern, New Opportunities, C3 Manning Food Pantry, and Coon Rapids-Bayard Food Pantry. For questions or to sign up for a team, call the main office at 712-792-9296 or email carroll.county@ifbf.org.
