SSGA Beef Drive benefits food banks

The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association's seventh annual Beef Drive for the Food Banks of Saskatchewan is underway. 

Under the program, cattle producers donate an animal which is then processed and delivered to Food Banks across the province.

SSGA president Garner Deobald says the food banks rely on the people of Saskatchewan to help out their neighbours.

"We're happy to pitch in and do our bit. This is something our members can do to help make sure people have enough good food to eat."

This year’s goal is to collect over 12,000 pounds of beef, in addition to direct financial donations which help with the cost of processing the animals.

Cargill Ltd. is returning as this year’s Beef Drive sponsor, matching cash donations dollar for dollar up to $5,000.00.
