HALO hoping to grow donations with new fundraising initiative
WHITLA, AB — HALO Air Rescue is hoping a new crop will bring good fortune to their organization.
The air ambulance service broke ground and began seeding 160 acres of land near Whitla on Tuesday. The plan is to grow wheat, harvest it and sell it at the end of the growing season, with all of the money going directly to HALO.
Kuizenga Farms out of Burdett donated the land to HALO for the project.
“New types of fundraising are always exciting,” said Allen Kuizenga, co-chair of HALO. “We have high expectations for this, and we hope it will turn out good.”
