The 2009 Sharecropper project has been completed. The corn crop was harvested in December before the first snowfall.
Praise the Lord! Although the yield was not as good as prior years, we managed to raise a total of $24,798 for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank. With the matching grant from CIDA, this translates into $100,000 to provide food assistance and food security programs to those in need around the world. We thank our Sharecropper partner church St. John's United Church in Oakville, for their generous contribution of $10,000, FaithLife Financial, for their matching grant of $1,500, and of course Galten Farms and the Schickedanz family for their crop work and support of the project again.
Please consider joining the 2010 project by becoming a sharecropper. For more information, call the church office at 905-477-1731.
