Growing wheat locally to support third-world countries
MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Canadian Foodgrains Bank of Medicine Hat is hosting a banquet this evening at the Chinook Village.
“It allows people to have supper with us and find out what’s going on,” explained Charlie Redpath. “We’ve been doing this for 15-years and in regards to the money, we’ve probably raised roughly $50,000 every year.”
The project itself is part of a national initiative that raises money for the less fortunate.
Locally, the Medicine Hat chapter grows wheat and then sells it with all the profits going to support third-world countries.
