Farm Bureau Insurance donates to Hand 2 Hand program.

AMBER TOWNSHIP — Michigan Farm Bureau Insurance recently donated $2,500 to Mason County Reformed Church’s Hand 2 Hand program. The program currently provides weekly packages of food and supplies to 51 children at Mason County Central Schools. 

The donation was made through the Matt Knizacky Agency of Manistee and came through the Farm Bureau of Michigan Agent Charitable Fund, which is a donor advised fund within the Michigan Foundation for Agriculture. It serves as a fund for Farm Bureau agents, clients, and partners to contribute to charitable causes throughout Michigan. Following the purpose and vision of the Michigan Foundation of Agriculture, the fund grants monies to provide food, build agriculture awareness, educate and help citizens throughout the state.

Hand 2 Hand program coordinator Mary DeWys said the funds will help provide Thanksgiving meals to the children’s families. Meals will include a turkey, potatoes, vegetables and stuffing. Remaining funds will help continue the program. 

Additional donations may be sent to Hand 2 Hand, Mason County Reformed Church, 45 S. Amber Rd., Scottville, MI 49454. Those who with questions may call 231-757-2088.
