We are looking people to be part of this campaign by making a monthly contribution. This will help us build a consistent income stream that will allow us to deliver beef protein to those who need it most in our community on a regular basis. $25 per month can provide a family with 5 pounds of healthy beef protein. A food staple that becomes more rare in pantries as times get harder.

The parents have been so grateful because now they can give their children hamburgers, meatloaf, or spaghetti for lunch.
Regular monthly deliveries make a HUGE difference in the lives of the needy families in our County.”

“In addition to the high cost of beef, there also seems to be a shortage, so many families we know are simply doing without.
If only you could see their faces when we are able to give them such good quality ground beef! Those moments are the BEST!
We could never share all the blessed moments you have allowed us to experience as we distribute food in our community.”
Much love,

Brent,
I cannot express how much we appreciated receiving 932 pounds of ground beef last week.
You are amazing.
We service the whole of Livingston County and we have not had beef for them in some time. This donation has put beef back on the tables of our needy in Livingston County.
We also have 700 of the children who are on free and reduced lunches when school is in session. We have been giving the breakfast and lunches in lieu of what they would have received at school. The parents have been so grateful because now they can give their children hamburgers, meatloaf, or spaghetti for lunch.
When we talked you were concerned that you would have too much burger too fast for us to have freezer space or be able to give it out fast enough. I am pleased to let you know that we will have gone through the beef you donated within the next two weeks. You had mentioned this happening on a monthly basis for a couple of months. If this is so, you will make a HUGE difference in the lives of the needy families in our County.
We are ready when you are. God Bless you.

Hello Brent Earl and Supporters! June 28, 2020
We just wanted to thank you on behalf of all the families who will be enjoying fresh ground beef from your INCREDIBLY generous 640 lb. donation! We feel so blessed to be part of what you are doing! Your generosity provides in so many ways. For one, ground beef is very expensive in the stores these days – we purchase what we can when we can because we know how much it helps the families we serve. Your donation allows us to free up funds for the other fresh food purchases we make! In addition to the high cost of beef, there also seems to be a shortage, so many families we know are simply doing without. If only you could see their faces when we are able to give them such good quality ground beef! Those moments are the BEST! We could never share all the blessed moments you have allowed us to experience as we distribute food in our community. The Torch is truly a living, breathing community of beautiful, generous souls who give of themselves to make a difference for others. Thank you for being in our family! John Bunyan said, “You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.” You have lived well today!
Much love,

2017:
The 2017 Earl Farm Foundation Field to Table Benefit Dinner, held on July 20th, raised over $12,000. That amount of money allowed us to buy and sell calves and cows that eventually turned into 6,000 pounds of fresh hamburger in 1 pound packages. The beef was distributed four times; December of 2017, March of 2018, April and December of 2019. The receiving organizations were Torch 180, LACASA, SonRise Food Pantry, Family Impact Center of Fowlerville, Gleaners of Livingston County, and Bountiful Harvest of Brighton.
In total, our little sunflower field to table dinner party provided 6,000 pounds of hamburger to our community and a 20 cu. ft. freezer to The Torch!
