Thirty-five area food pantries receive a much-needed boost this holiday season as $38,000 has been donated by United Cooperative and Land O’Lakes Foundation to provide food resources to rural communities.

“As a farmer-owned cooperative, we’re involved intimately in the development of crops and livestock used in the food system,” says David Cramer, United Cooperative president and CEO. “We know the importance of food for strong families, strong schools and a strong economy. We’re hopeful these donations help communities provide food to people who need emergency resources to feed their families.”
