Donate Meat for Christmas Baskets

Pork-OrnamentThe Carroll County Agriculture Association is soliciting the donation of a hog that can be butchered and turned into ground pork to be given away to Carroll County families during the holidays.

The Ag Association also purchases and accepts donation of additional meat from community suppliers and from Indiana Packers.

Last year, we collected more than 3500 pounds of meat to aid area families.

We are in need of 15-20 hogs to be donated and taken to the Burlington Locker Plant on December 8 or December 9.

Sam Moffitt is coordinating this project for the Ag Association, and it is important to schedule your drop-off with Sam because of the high demand for meat processing at Burlington Locker Plant, this year.

Please call Sam at 574-721-4769 by December 1 or as soon as possible.

If you would like to make a donation, please send a check to the Carroll County Ag Association at PO Box 62, Flora IN 46929.

For more information the Annual Appeal letter is attached:  Christmas letter-09
