It is Christmas time again and many of us are rushing around buying gifts and hoping we do not forget anyone on our list. However, there are many American who are not as fortunate and struggle to survive. I hope that during this season of giving we each make an effort to help these individuals in our community. Our time, our energy, and our funds can make a difference in their lives.

The American Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers Committee in partnership with America's Second Harvest provides a way for farmers to donate food and funds through the Harvest for All program. However, helping America’s Second Harvest achieve its goal of ending hunger is not limited to Farm Bureau members anyone can help. Your local food bank would appreciate your time as a volunteer or your donation of food and/or money. America’s Second Harvest website makes it easy to locate a food bank in your area and provides a great resource for learning more about hunger in America. May we all make the effort to help those in need this Christmas season.
