“Baptist Children’s Home is pleased to thank Doug Freyenberger and the Monsanto fund for this generous gift of $2,500, which will provide care for so many children. Baptist Children’s Home appreciates Mr. Freyenberger’s partnership in caring for at-risk children,” said Linda Brooks, Baptist Children’s Home, Chief Operating Officer.

The Grow Communities program’s purpose is to make a positive impact in farm communities by partnering with farmers to support the causes that are important to them in their communities. Each year, farmers enter for a chance to win a $2,500 donation that they direct to a local nonprofit. “Farmers are truly committed to this program because they see the difference the donation makes in their community,” said Al Mitchell, Monsanto Fund president.
