AGT Foods, in partnership with Food Banks Canada and Drive Away Hunger, is
pleased to announce
the AGT Food Bank Crop Exchange Program, a program connecting generous producers across
Saskatchewan with food banks in their communities. The program asks producers to donate a
portion of their crop delivery when they deliver to their local AGT Foods delivery
location, the
proceeds from which go to support local food banks across Saskatchewan and Western Canada.
Producers simply commit to an amount and “Round Down” their delivery for
donation. For example if their delivery load to AGT Foods is 40 MT and they choose to
donate 1
MT, local and provincial food banks will get a dollar-for-dollar food credit with AGT
Foods
towards pasta, rice, pulses and staple foods. Producers will also receive a taxable receipt for
their 1 MT donation, at fair market value, and payment for the 39 MT delivery.
