Food banks grateful
for farmers' efforts
to 'Meat the Needs'
By Sara Campbell
Expositor Staff
Organizers and area food
banks are expressing their
appreciation to Huron
County farmers and those
supports who have helped
contribute to the Donate a
Cow program.
Meat the Needs of Huron,
the new program name by
the Huron County
Federation
o f
Agriculture
(HCFA) and
Huron
County
Dairy
Producers,
w a s
launched
last week to
give free
ground beef
to county
food banks
to help feed
the needy.
"We have
had a
terrific
response.
There are
calls
coming to
us from
across the
county. It really is amazing,"
said Bill Wallace who along
with John Klaver are leading
the program on behalf of the
HCFA and dairy producers.
Last Friday, the Seaforth
and Wingham food banks
received 70 pounds of beef
and the following day,
donated meat was
distributed to the Zurich and
Goderich food banks.
Three cows were sent to
be processed earlier last
week and since the program
was announced three more
cattle have been sent to be
processed and another six
have been lined up.
"More importantly, we
have a great deal of
sponsors signing up to help
cover the processing cost,"
said Wallace.
Each business,
organization or individual
that has signed up to support
the program is covering the
processing cost of a cow of
$230, which is less than half
of the abattoirs' regular cost.
"We have enough
sponsors no* to help cover
the cost of the cattle we
have sent to be processed
but as we get more cattle
lined up we will still need
more sponsors," he said.
Wallace added that any
private individuals who are
sending their cattle to be
processed, have to wait until
March unless the meat is
going to the food banks.
"We have
enough cattle
lined up to be
processed that
will help the
food banks
during the
winter and the
abattoirs are
really helping
us to have that
accomplished,"
said Klaver, of
Kippen.
Wallace said
he continues to
aim to have one
cow processed,
once a month,
over the next
six months
until each of
the six food
bank in the
county has
received a cow
or 500 lbs. of meat.
"It's , just been
overwhelming to see the
amount of support. If we
have plenty more meat come
in then — we'll still be
grateful — the more we have
to give out," said Angeline
Swart, volunteer coordinator
at the Seaforth Food Bank.
Swart said the Seaforth
Food Bank has 20 family
clients to help feed. She will
distribute three pounds of
beef to each family every
week.
"We may not have much
freezer space but when we
are filling the freezers
they're being emptied just as
quick," said Albert
Whitting, of the Wingham
Food Bank.
"At this time of the year
there is a great line up of
people at the food bank
which really is unfortunate
to see that there are that
many people in need of
To donate to the program,
