Central Valley Ag Donates Kansas and Nebraska Food Banks
(York, NE) – Central Valley Ag (CVA) cooperative is proud to announce a combined $30,000 donation to support hunger relief efforts across Nebraska and Kansas, helping provide thousands of meals to families facing food insecurity throughout the region.
The donations include $15,000 contributions to both the Kansas Food Bank and Nebraska Food Bank. Together, the donation will help provide nutritious meals and resources to individuals and families experiencing hunger in the communities it serves. During the season, fans watched every shot beyond the arc contribute to a greater purpose, turning game-day moments into meaningful community impact
Through partnerships with Kansas State University and the University of Nebraska, CVA sponsored season-long 3-point initiatives during the men’s and women’s basketball seasons. Every three-pointer made throughout the season contributed to the cooperative’s commitment to support regional food banks and raise awareness for hunger relief efforts.
“Supporting rural communities goes beyond agriculture for us,” said Owen Baker, SVP of Marketing at CVA. “We’re proud to partner with organizations that work every day to make sure people have access to the meals they need.”
“Programs like this bring people together in a fun and meaningful way,” Baker said. “Every three-pointer represented an opportunity to help a family in need and support food banks doing critical work across Nebraska and Kansas.”
The donations will help both food banks continue providing nutritious meals and essential resources to families throughout their service areas at a time when many households continue to face rising costs.
