CHS is teaming up with local farmers to fight hunger once again with the Harvest for Hunger Food, Grain, and Fund drive.  Since 2011, CHS has raised more than $5.6 million and 3.6 million pounds of food through its Country Operations business units. 

Robert Staehnke, operations manager, said the corporate office will be providing some matching funds to what’s raised for food banks. “CHS and CHS County Operation started the Harvest for Hunger campaign several years ago,” said Staehnke. “It’s once again coming up this year March 1-20. All money raised and some matching contributions from our corporate offices to the local food banks.”

Harvest for Hunger will be held with curbside pickup due to COVID-19 at a variety of locations throughout the region explained Staeknke. “In our area, CHS and CHS Ag Services are teaming up once again to raise money for Harvest for Hunger,” said Staehnke. “We have several locations in northwest Minnesota and northeast North Dakota along with Ag Services. Here in Crookston, we’ll be holding a curbside pickup. We’ll be grilling burgers and brats. You can call the CHS Northland Grain office for orders or the CHS Ag Service office to put in orders. And probably expect some phone calls from some of our staff to see if you’re interested in ordering some food. It will be a free-will donation and once again, all money goes to the food bank.”

The brats or burgers will also come with macaroni salad, chips, and water. The CHS Northland Grain number is 281-2881. The CHS Ag Services number in Crookston is 281-3507.
