In celebration of 100 years of the American Farm Bureau Federation, a large donation was made to Ronald McDonald House charities. The effort was launched during the 2019 AFBF convention, and state Women’s Leadership Committees accepted the challenge. “The goal was $100,000,” says Cindy Foster, Women’s Leadership Team chair, South Dakota Farm Bureau. “In the end, we raised $237,863 nationwide.” Foster says the challenge extends beyond just raising money. “For years in South Dakota, Farm Bureau has donated to this charity by buying groceries once a year. There isn’t a location in western South Dakota, so we purchase meal trays for parents of the children in the Rapid City hospital. Last year, we purchased over $5,000 in goods for the cause.” Listen to the RRFN interview with Foster.
