“We are grateful for the continued support of the Community Foundation of Noble County for the Farm Wagon program,” said Carmen Cumberland, Executive President of Community Harvest Food Bank. “Our mission is to alleviate hunger and the Foundation’s support has made that mission a reality for the residents of Noble County. Because of their generous grant, fewer families will be worrying about how to get their next meal.”
