Rice Raiser Partners with Global Projects
Globally the Rice Raiser works in four different developing countries each year.
The projects for 2009 are in:
These projects will remain active throughout the year.
Act locally
The Rice Raiser is partnering locally with the Abbotsford Food Bank and the Canadian Association of Food Banks, BC Branch. The Food Bank has identified rice as being one of the best food items we can supply them with and they welcome all we can give them. Rice is a very important food item. It is versatile, nutritious and is the most consumed food item in the world.
Act globally
Internationally, the Rice Raiser is partnering with Hungry for Life International, Mennonite Central Committee and Cause Canada to feed hungry people throughout the world. 100% of your donation will go to the organization whose project you wish to support and you will receive a tax receipt for every donation over $10.00 from the organization whose project you support.
Get involved
Bags of rice and donations can be dropped off at the participating schools or your local food bank. Tell your food bank that the donation is in response to the Rice Raiser Campaign. Please call Lorri for more information: 604-308-1391.
The Rice Raiser is a worthwhile endeavor for the entire community as it teaches our next generation of leaders the lessons of compassion, love, and generosity in a world that is increasingly threatening to all.
