Betaseed Supports Its Communities

Left to Right: Deacon Mike Grzadzielewski and Elaine Broker accepted the funding on behalf of the Walsh County Food Pantry and the backpack program. They will disperse the backpack funds to the individual backpack programs involved.

On April 15, 2020, Jordan Sagert with On-Target Ag Services and Dave Svobodny with Midwest Consulting; Betaseed Independent Sales Agents for the American Crystal region, presented two checks for $5,000.00 each, giving a $10,000.00 total donation to the Walsh County Food Pantry and the Backpack Meal Program.  These organizations are essential to meeting the needs of the families within their local communities. The objective of the Backpack Meal Program is to team up with the Grafton and Park River Public Schools to distribute easy to prepare meals and snacks to children for the weekend.  A backpack program is a great opportunity to provide food directly to the kids who need it most. The Walsh County Food Pantry appreciates the generosity and kindness they have shown to those in need.
