Young Farmers Make Significant Donation to the Community
The Young Farmers have made a significant donation that will impact the entire community. They were able to donate over $5,500 worth of GPS units to 33 area emergency providers. The GPS units will be placed in emergency response vehicles with hopes of helping the emergency providers to be able to find locations easiers, particularly in rural areas. This donation was made possible through the hard work of the Young Farmers along with a donation from a Young Farmer member and a grant from the Galesburg Community Foundation.
