Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home & Family Ministries has received a $2,500 donation from America’s Farmers Grow Communities, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund and directed by local farmer Chad Johnson of Richland Parish.
The donation will help the Children’s Home provide love, care, and hope in Christ to children and families in need within our community and across the state.
Upon hearing of the donation, Dr. Perry Hancock, Children’s Home President & CEO, stated, “We are so grateful for the $2,500 gift from the Monsanto Fund. We are especially grateful to Mr. Chad Johnson for selecting the Home to receive this generous gift. It’s always great to see a gift like this provided by someone within our community that helps us care for children who have been neglected, abused and abandoned. Thank you Mr. Johnson and Monsanto Fund!”
For six years, America’s Farmers Grow Communities has collaborated with farmers to donate over $22 million to more than 8,000 community organizations across rural America. Winning farmers will direct donations to nonprofits to help fight rural hunger, purchase life-saving fire and EMS equipment, support ag youth leadership programs, buy much needed classroom resources, and so much more.
America’s Farmers Grow Communities partners with farmers to support local nonprofit causes that positively impact farming communities across rural America. Grow Communities is one program in the America’s Farmers community outreach effort, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund. Other programs include America’s Farmers Grow Ag Leaders, which encourages rural youth to remain in agriculture and provides $1,500 college scholarships to high school and college students pursuing ag-related degrees and America’s Farmers Grow Rural Education, which works with farmers to nominate rural school districts to compete for $10,000 and $25,000 math and science grants.
