OUR WHY

Our main goal is bringing the community together.

Our student application process is designed to encourage and increase community participation.

 

This is accomplished by requiring the youth to submit at least five buyer’s letters where they invite local individuals and businesses to attend their livestock auction.

 

Our hope is that some of these invitations will increase the in-person presence and financial impact of the auction. The secondary benefit directly serves our neighbors by providing local organizations such as churches, food banks and meal providers with a high quality, locally produced protein.

 

One of the truly unique aspects of our organization is being able to see our efforts through in their entirety. The youth involved whose animals we purchased, helped us deliver THEIR animals, directly to the charities and churches we partnered with, creating a full circle experience.

 

Not only have these kids spent up to a year feeding and raising these animals for a purpose, they are able to further their experience by seeing the kitchens where we are feeding our neighbors in need.

 

Once again, this is all in thanks to your efforts as well. We thank you with deep gratitude, for helping us make this a tremendous success. We look forward to improving and growing this worthwhile program for years to come.
