Become a Virtual Farmer with Grow Hope Saskatchewan!

Rally around local farmers who are growing hope on a global scale.

Funds raised through Grow Hope Saskatchewan help support people around the world with emergency food supplies and long-term food security.

 

Help end global hunger around the world.

 

How it works.

  1. Generous farmers in Saskatchewan agree to grow and donate land to grow a crop for Grow Hope Saskatchewan.

  2. You sponsor the growth of a crop with a donation to help cover the costs of farming. It costs up to $350 per acre to provide seed, fertilizer, fuel and other things needed to grow a crop.

  3. After harvest, farmers sell the crop and donate the proceeds to Canadian Foodgrains Bank. The proceeds from the sale of the crop can be as much as $600 per acre or more. Crop proceeds used to provide emergency food assistance for people living through a crisis may be matched 4:1 through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank’s Partnership with Global Affairs Canada.

 

 Meet our farmers.

Josh, Janelle & Richard Prybylski

Creekridge Farms

Willowbrook, SK | Farming Wheat

Josh and Janelle Prybylski operate a grain farm near Willowbrook together with Josh’s dad, Richard, and other family members. The farm was involved with the Canadian Foodgrains Bank several years ago and have now renewed their participation through Grow Hope Saskatchewan.

The Prybylskis like the way the project works of bringing different denominations together to work towards the same thing. They farm about 13,000 acres altogether and set aside some of those acres to support the project. They see this as an extension of their faith, and feel it is a small way to fulfil the call in their lives to help those in need. The family are members of a Baptist church in Willowbrook, SK.

 Grow Hope Saskatchewan is a partnership between Mennonite Central Committee, Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB), Saskatoon Catholic Diocese, Development and Peace, Canadian Baptist Ministries (CBM), Synod of Saskatchewan of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, and the Anglican Diocese of Qu’Appelle. This cooperative effort is an expression of our shared desire to provide food around the world to people whose resources are scarce.
