Junior Farmers raise funds for food bank

The Wellington County Junior Farmers’ annual spaghetti dinner on April 13 in Drayton was the most successful to date, with over 100 people attending.

Proceeds from ticket sales, as well as non-perishable food donations will be contributed to the Drayton Food Bank. This year the total dollar amount raised was $884.

Jen van der Meulen, club executive member noted, “It’s always nice to see so many people out to make our efforts worthwhile. Working in, and supporting the community is a big part of Junior Farmers.”

Junior Farmers consists of people aged 15 to 29 from all occupations and walks of life. Club members are people looking for fun, new challenges, and an opportunity to be involved.
