|The South Marysburgh Mirror 15] South Prince Edward Food Grains Project 2007 Those of you who use Morrison Pt. Rd. near Black River Cheese Co. may have noticed a large green sign which marks a Canadian Food Grains Bank (CFGB) Pro- ject sponsored by South Bay United Church and our urban partners Eastminster United Church in Belleville. CFGB is a 25 year old national association centered in Winnipeg with 350 projects similar to ours all across Canada. 15 Church Denominations have joined in support over the years and very often share their resources in needy coun- tries to supply not only a food source but food for work sit- uations like irrigation, construction, shelter belt planting and also seed for future crops. The countries are assessed by volunteers who travel to these foreign countries at their own expense. This year about 70 % of our aid has gone to Ethiopia and Sudan in Africa because of a desperate food shortage there. Our local project is know officially as South Prince Edward Food Grains Project and has been in place for 13 years. It serves to give our urban partners a glimpse of the work and costs involved in growing foods as well as some q great fellowship with them. They also sponsor a fundraiser at harvest time among their own congregation is years project consisted of 11 acres of soy beans which were harvested in October, the 11 acres was then planted into winter wheat for harvest as our 2008 pro- ject. The soy beans were sold at harvest time and yielded a respectable 34 bushels per acre in spite of an extremely hot and dry summer. The proceeds from the crop plus cash do- nations from both congregations totaled $4,140.00 for our 2007 project. The federal Government matches local dol- lars raised by 4 fold through their CIDA Food Aid Program and thus creates $20,700.00 for direct purchase of food, some times sourced in neighbouring countries to maintain the local diet. All goods and services were donated by our local farmers and farm related businesses. We continue to be im- pressed by people's willingness to help those less fortunate an ourselves in our wonderful land of bounty. All this in keeping with our Canadian Food Grains Bank motto a Christian response to hunger as well as feeling we are do- ing this for all the right reasons. - George Emlaw Our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) has been growing over the years. + year families in P.E.C. received a box of fresh, farm delivered to their door once a week in this more.
