“It’s encouraging to see more churches coming together around something so tangible and effective,” Block said.
Grow Hope Saskatchewan connects farmers who donate land with donors who cover input costs of roughly $350 per acre. Crops are grown and harvested, and proceeds are matched up to 4:1 through Canadian Foodgrains Bank, multiplying the impact for communities facing food insecurity.
In 2024, 440 acres were sponsored, raising over $248,000. This year, the goal is 500 acres.
Support comes from both new and returning sponsors and first-time participants, including farmer Diana Dolack, who has donated 80 acres near Biggar, Sask.
