In 2023, Operation Feed LaPorte County Co. distributed over 5,000 pounds of meat and 6,260 pounds of nonperishable food (collected during the week of the LaPorte County Fair) to 29 LaPorte County food pantries and other agencies. In 2024, over 8,000 pounds of meat, 7,000 pounds of non-perishables, 42 dozen eggs, tables filled with farm fresh produce, and lots of hygiene products were distributed to 32 LaPorte County food pantries and other agencies. The meat came from animals shown by LaPorte County 4-H’ers who then auctioned their animals off during the LaPorte County Fair.
While we have made outstanding progress over the years, Operation Feed LaPorte County still has work to do. The need is there, and we are growing our efforts, but we need your support for the 2025 LaPorte County Fair livestock auction.
Did you know the average steer costs around $4,500 to purchase and process? Processing fees paid by Operation Feed LaPorte County in 2023 were over $15,000. Would you be willing to donate to help us achieve our mission of increasing the amount of meat donated to even more agencies?
Donations will be used for purchasing animals and the processing of them. For donations of $500 or more, Operation Feed LaPorte County will bid on and purchase an animal for you at the LaPorte County Fair livestock auction under your individual name or business.
If you would like to donate, please complete the enclosed donation form and mail it along with your check to our address listed on the form.
Visit our Facebook page, Operation Feed LaPorte County, for additional information or reach out to Catherine Mrozinski, Operation Feed LaPorte County President.
We appreciate your donation, which will be used to give back to our LaPorte County community!
Sincerely,
Operation Feed LaPorte County Co. Board
