ProVision Partners Cooperative aims to not only combat hunger, but support local farmers at the same time.
In partnership with Land O’Lakes, the cooperative donates around $12,000 to food pantries in the communities ProVision Partners serves, including Marshfield, Stratford, Auburndale, and Colby.
“We find it important because the history of cooperatives is neighbor helping neighbor,” said Angie Schiller, credit/marketing assistant. “We feel a need to help those who give back to us.”
Additionally, dairy vouchers are given out to the food pantries for them to be able to provide fresh products from Cenex stores.
“We want to promote dairy through the food pantries, because dairy is an important portion of the diet for any human being,” said Schiller. “We’re not only helping our neighbors with funding, but helping them get the nutritious food they need.”
