Agent Charitable Fund Awards Grant to Dansville Public Schools

This week, our agency presented Dansville Schools with a $5,000 grant from the Agent Charitable Fund for their food bag program. Our agency nominated Dansville for this grant and we are thrilled to see they were selected.

Dansville Schools facilitates a Many Hands Weekend Food Bag program, where eligible students receive a bag of food every Friday that contains enough food for two days of meals. The Many Hands program is self-funded by the district, and food bags are assembled weekly by volunteers. 

The ACF, whose mission is to end hunger in Michigan, is a donor-designated fund administered through the Michigan Foundation for Agriculture. The Michigan Foundation for Agriculture, 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.
