Thanks to your donations and support, we were able to grow our Farm to School effort to reach a total of 49 districts, in Nebraska alone. Farm to School is a national movement that encourages schools to serve locally grown food from partnering farmers. You should be proud of your support.
We're kicking off our #GivingTuesday campaign today! We know #GivingTuesday starts next week. So why start today? Because every dollar you help us raise online between today and next Tuesday will be matched by the generous folks at Newman’s Own Foundation! They'll match up to $10,000 too! This means if supporters like you donate $10,000, the money will doubled to $20,000 for programs like Farm to School.
We need your help! We'd love it if you donated, but we also need you to help spread the word. Post about why you donated to the Center for Rural Affairs using the hashtags #WhyRural and #GivingTuesday. It will be helpful whether you use Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram. Plus, we'd love to share your content, especially great photos!
