Giving Tuesday is Nov. 29, and this year the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation has received a $25,000 gift from The Kroger Co. that serves as a match for the upcoming national day of philanthropy.
“At Kroger, our Fresh for Everyone mission is anchored in our commitment to sourcing and manufacturing only the best and freshest products and making them available to anyone, anytime, anywhere. We’re dedicated to fostering innovation and investing in organizations like the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation who are helping young people learn about careers in agriculture, manufacturing and more,” said Amy McCormick, foundation board 2nd vice president and corporate affairs manager for The Kroger Company.
The Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation is dedicated to creating pathways for young people to learn about the variety and viability of careers in agriculture.
“This gift provides a great incentive for all those passionate about the future of Ohio agriculture to double their impact during this year’s Giving Tuesday efforts, and we are grateful for Kroger’s support,” said Kelly Burns, executive director of the Ohio Farm Bureau Foundation.

The plan we are on is great. It’s comparable to my previous job's plan, and we are a sole proprietor.
To grow a network and gain perspective and knowledge in the industry through personal and professional development has been invaluable. Every day I learn and grow.
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.
Farm Bureau is what really got the word out. It’s been one of their goals to get this done.
I could not have done it without the resources I have found through Farm Bureau.
Because we are younger farmers just starting out, Farm Bureau has a lot of good opportunities and resources to help us grow in the future.
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.
