How it works

An acre is sponsored for $400 (An acre is about the size of a soccer field)
The Markdale Grow Hope farmer grows the crop
Proceeds from the crop ($500* per acre) are sent to NCM Canada & the Canadian Foodgrains Bank
The funds are matched up to 4:1 by the Canadian government to become as much as $2500
One sponsored acre feeds about 50 families for one month!

*estimated value of crop – actual proceeds may vary according to weather, growing conditions, harvest conditions, yield, etc.

Grow Hope growing projects support our work through Canadian Foodgrains Bank.

Grow Hope donations pay for a farmer here in Canada to plant a field, care for the field, and harvest the crop. The proceeds from the crop go to Canadian Foodgrains Bank where they are matched 4:1 by the government of Canada. (for most food assistance projects).

The Grow Hope Markdale project is a partnership of the Markdale Church of the Nazarene, Nazarene Compassionate Ministries Canada and Canadian Foodgrains Bank and is located at 794854 East Back Line, just east of Markdale. The Goudy family farm the land. This year's crop is Wheat and Corn.

You can sponsor the cost for an acre*, part of an acre, or just choose to make a donation. Cost to sponsor one acre is $400, half acre is $200, 1/10th acre is $40. Any gift you choose to give is gratefully accepted.

*An acre is about the size of a soccer field.

Expected return per acre is $500. When matched becomes as much as $2500.
