Story

In Michigan, one in seven children face hunger. The Michigan Farm Bureau Family of Companies: Farm Bureau Insurance, Michigan Farm Bureau and the Agent Charitable Fund challenge you to join us to stop childhood hunger.

The number of Michigan families struggling with food insecurity continues to grow, not only in places like Detroit, Flint and Grand Rapids, but in our rural communities throughout the state. We are taking action through the Million Meal Challenge. This challenge is an opportunity for every person who is part of our family our agents, members, insureds and staff to come together to support each other through uncertain times.

The Agent Charitable Fund and Farm Bureau Insurance will match donations dollar-for-dollar from our members, clients and supporters. Knowing every dollar equates to five meals, with your help, we can donate more than 1 million meals to Michigan families in need this fall.

Michigan Farm Bureau members have provided healthy food to Michiganders for generations, and we will continue to feed Michigan families during this time of uncertainty. Please consider supporting our efforts to end childhood hunger. Your gift of any size will help amplify our efforts to reduce food insecurity and fear for families facing hunger.

At Farm Bureau we are committed to supporting our agents, employees, insureds and members as they unite to create sustained community change while working towards our mission to end childhood hunger in Michigan.

The ACF, whose mission is to end hunger in Michigan, is a donor-designated fund administered through the Michigan Foundation for Agriculture. The Michigan Foundation for Agriculture, a 501(c)(3) governed by Michigan Farm Bureaus board of directors, positively contributes to the future of Michigan agriculture through leadership and educational programming. Through grant programs and donations, Farm Bureau agents, clients and partners provide food and educational programs to Michigan residents struggling with hunger and aid the more than 3,000 hunger-relief agencies throughout the state.
