Food Check-Out Week 2012

Food Check-Out Week 2012 will be held Feb. 19-25. A national event with the AFB Women’s Leadership Committee is being planned with Indiana Farm Bureau in Indianapolis. State and county Farm Bureaus throughout the nation also are planning Food Check-Out activities and events during the week. Follow this link to see highlights from 2011.

Food Check-Out Week, involving Farm Bureaus at the county, state and national level, celebrates the abundance and safety of food.

Key messages for the program are:

• Farm Bureau is helping consumers find solutions to eating healthy on a stretched budget.
• America’s farmers and ranchers are committed to producing safe, abundant and healthy food.
• Through charitable donations to local Ronald McDonald Houses (and other charities) during Food Check-Out Week, we recognize the need everyone has to find solutions to feeding families healthy foods on a tight budget.

On the national level, the AFB Women’s Leadership Committee staffs supermarket demonstration stations for consumers to help them increase their knowledge of how to stay on a budget while purchasing healthy food for their families. The committee makes cash and food donations to Ronald McDonald Houses.
