Harvest of Hope - Wisconsin Family Farm Crisis Fund
Harvest of Hope's goal is to provide financial help and hope to Wisconsin farm families in difficult situations. The Harvest of Hope Fund provides gifts to farm families who need financial assistance to meet emergency needs for food, home heating fuel, medical or veterinary expenses, electric power cut-offs, climatic conditions (drought, floods, frost, hail), feed for cattle, machinery repair, retraining, or other immediate situations. Funding is also available to purchase seed, fertilizer, fuel, and other supplies for spring planting. Wisconsin farm families with needs in any of these areas are encouraged to apply for funds.
