Banner Year for Woodstock
Growing Project Of the Canadian Food Grains Bank. The Woodstock Growing Project
raised over $60,000 for food assistance for Pakistan,
Haiti
and other areas needing hunger relief.
Most of the money came from local corn and soybeans and is
matched on a 3 to 1 basis by the Federal Government. The local group hold Fall
Bean and Pork Barbecue as a fund-raiser, harvest celebration and information
session. Some Rotarians participate and I sell honey with the proceeds to the
Food Grains Bank. See also www.foodgrainsbank.ca Bill
