In a unique fundraiser, started by a group of farmers in Southern Manitoba, the sale of ground beef made from donated cows will have a double benefit. Youth groups, church groups, and community clubs will sell ground beef instead of chocolates this year. From each $20-box they will recieve five dollars for their own fundraising campaign. The remainder, after processing costs will be donated to Canadian Foodgrains Bank, an organization which collects donations of cash, grain and other agricultural commodities for distribution to the world's hungry.
