THANKS A MILLION

on Thursday, 04 June 2020. Posted in Blog & News

THANKS A MILLION! To everyone who helped us on this journey, a HUGE THANK YOU! With their help, 1 million pounds of processing potatoes were donated to those in need during these difficult times. We met some incredible people and had some unforgettable moments we will cherish. We received so many thoughtful messages and donations from people across the country, it was an amazing experience being able to feed those in need during these uncertain times.

Our road to a million mission was a huge success thanks to all of the wonderful groups listed below. Without help from these generous folks and donors, we wouldn't have been able to do it!
