Perth County Beef Farmers donating ground beef to those in need

The Perth County Beef Farmers are stepping up to help our area.

The farm group says it is donating 260 pounds of ground beef to Salvation Army’s across the region, including the Stratford Salvation Army, with the beef going to help those in need.

The beef is coming from the Dunsmore Family Farm near St.Pauls.

Jack Chaffe is the Vice-President of the Beef Farmers of Ontario and he says the donation was made locally out of wanting to be socially responsible.

“We just wanted to make sure we we’re contributing to the people who were maybe short on food and we’re reaching out.”

Chaffe adds the decision to donate the beef was made back in February.
