Marquis Energy announced today that they had a record number of trucks deliver corn to their Hennepin, Illinois facility during the month of October. Earlier this summer the President and Director of Risk Management of Marquis Grain, Jeff Peterson had discussions with Another Child Foundation Executive Director Tim Oloffson about their participation in this year's program. Last year Marquis Grain & Energy donated $1 for every truck that came through their facility. With that same $1 a load commitment for 2014, the 10K Bushel Project will receive another sizable and generous donation.
The 10K Bushel Project is an Another Child Foundation effort to involve local farmers and agri-businesses to support vulnerable children through-out the world. Local farmers are indeed the providers of much of the world's food. Here in the mid-west farmers have been richly blessed with the ability to grow corn in amazing quantities. ACF is partnering with farmers and agri-businesses to tend to the needs of at-risk children in our community and world. With partners like Marquis Energy, ACF will be able to feed children with the nutritional and spiritual food they crave.
