SENCA Receives Donation

By Aaron J Wisdom

04/07/2016

(KTNC)-- Southeast Nebraska Community Action Partnership (SENCA) has received a $2,500 donation from America’s Farmers Grow Communities, sponsored by the Monsanto Fund.

The donation has been directed to the SENCA Food Pantry by Richardson County farmer Dale Yoesel and his wife Ronda. The donation will help provide funding to purchase non-perishable supplies plus vouchers to local grocery stores that assist with purchasing meat, dairy items, and fresh produce.

For six years, America’s Farmers Grow Communities has collaborated with farmers to donate over $22 million to more than 8,000 organizations across rural America. Winning farmers direct donations to nonprofits to help fight hunger, purchase life-saving fire and Emergency Medical Service equipment, support ag youth leadership programs, buy much needed classroom resources, and so much more.

Mr. Yoesel, of rural Rulo, commented that when nominating an organization for the American’s Farmers Grow Communities award, he and his wife chose the SENCA food pantry because “they can use it”. Their awareness of the program comes from work done through their local church and by referrals made to families in need through the Falls City Ministerial Association.

Richardson County residents experiencing emergency situations including food assistance are invited to contact Melissa Hardenberger, SENCA Family Development Specialist, at 402-245-5284 to schedule an appointment.
