Foods Resource Bank Project…
Peace Lutheran and Lutheran Church of the Atonement in Florisant have joined
together for the second year to help fight world hunger with a community growing
project for the Foods Resource Bank.
Bobby and Sandra
Scheiderer have donated a 24 ˝ acre site for the project. Bobby planted the corn
on April 4, after Tyler Linneman worked the ground. Jon Moore assisted Bobby by
bringing the seed corn to the plot.
“The seed was donated and
the other inputs have been paid for,” said Bobby. “Now we’ll have to wait and
see how the weather cooperates and how the crop turns out.”

Foods Resource Bank Project…
Plans are set to harvest the community growing project corn plot for the
Foods Resource Bank on Saturday, September 10. Our partners from Lutheran Church
of the Atonement in Florissant will be joining us that morning in the field to
watch the combining of the corn. We’ll treat them to lunch back at the church
between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. Hayrides at the plot are tentatively scheduled.

Foods Resource Bank Project…
We had a beautiful fall day to harvest the community growing project corn plot
for the Foods Resource Bank on Saturday, September 10. A busload of members from
Lutheran Church of the Atonement in Florissant, our partner in the project, came
up for the day and enjoyed watching the combines in the field. Quite a few folks
even rode in the combines with Leland and myself. Following the trip to the
field, everyone returned to the church and enjoyed a lunch prepared by Peace
members
The 24.5 acres of corn
made 3,007.5 bushels and sold at MFA for $1.87 a bushel, which included a
10-cent premium, for a total of $5,624.03. Atonement Lutheran contributed
$5,137.81 and expenses were $4,466.66. Net proceeds sent to FRB were
$6,780.14.
