Ending Hunger in Michigan 2023 Recap

Farm Bureau Insurance agents across the state founded the Agent Charitable Fund (ACF) to come together as an agency force to fund grants to end childhood hunger. The ACF believes in unleashing the power of Farm Bureau agents to end hunger in Michigan through education, financial support, and community engagement. Through the ACF, agents have access to grants and matching donation opportunities for Michigan schools and other community programs.

The ACF is made possible through the generous contributions of agents, employees, members, and insureds. Ryan is a founding board member of the ACF, which was established in 2017. He co-chairs the Statewide Fundraiser event for the ACF. In 2023 the Statewide Fundraiser generated a little over $69,000 to help end hunger in Michigan. Ryan also directed $4,000 to Love in Action, based here in Grand Haven.

In 2023 the ACF gave $175,000 in grants to schools, food banks and community organizations, provided 875,000 meals and supported 85 organizations/schools.
