JOHN DAY — Students within Grant School District will be treated to locally grown beef on the menu during lunchtime.
The district is restarting a program called Ranchers Feeding Students which sees local ranchers donate a cow to a school district which is slaughtered and processed before being served to kids during lunch. Meals which feature locally grown beef will be advertised as such on the days in which they are served.
While the cattle are donated and cost the district no money, processing the beef is not free of charge. Costs associated with the slaughter, cutting and wrapping of the beef are covered by Farmers Ending Hunger, which has been providing the service to schools participating in the Ranchers Feeding Students program since 2007.
At an event held on Feb. 13 in Freeport, representatives from credit unions across Maine gathered to commemorate the work done collaboratively last year to end hunger in Maine.
