Pennsylvania Farm Bureau (PFB) members are celebrating Food Check-Out Week (FCOW), which recognizes that growing and raising healthy food is a farmer’s top priority and focuses on helping consumers eat healthy meals, despite dealing with tight food budgets.
The theme of FCOW, February 17-23, is “Stretching Your Grocery Dollar with Healthy, Nutritious Food.”
The PFB has created a link on its website, where consumers can learn more about finding solutions to eating healthy and nutritious food on a tight budget. To visit the website, go to : http://www.pfb.com/foodcheckout.
For the 15th consecutive year, PFB recognized FCOW by making deliveries of food, cash, gift cards and other contributions to Pennsylvania’s six Ronald McDonald Houses in Danville, Hershey, Philadelphia (two houses), Pittsburgh and Scranton. Pennsylvania farm families donated $61,340 to the five Ronald McDonald Houses in 2013.
Pennsylvania farmers have collected more than $838,540 in total donations since the FCOW program was initiated by PFB’s State Women’s Leadership Committee in 1998.
The Ronald McDonald Houses provide a home away from home for families with seriously ill children receiving medical treatment at area hospitals.
