Culver’s Thank You Farmers Project has now raised over $3.5 million since its creation in 2013. So far in 2021, the program has raised $500,000.
The money directly supports people making a positive impact in the ag industry, including those involved with local agriculture efforts in the communities Culver’s calls home and larger, national projects advancing the industry.
“There’s never been a more important time to collaborate and lead to create a better world, and advancing the future of agriculture is a critical way to do that,” says Alison Demmer, Culver’s marketing specialist. “Our guests continue to passionately support this mission through the Thank You Farmers Project, and we’re proud and encouraged to see the program’s success in 2021.”
Thank You Farmers Project cornerstones, including the FFA Essay Contest and local Thank You Farmers Project Share Nights to support organizations like FFA, were held again this year, bolstering Culver’s longstanding commitment to growing the next generation of leaders in agriculture. Scoops of Thanks Day, which offered guests a scoop of Fresh Frozen Custard for just $1 at all Culver’s restaurants nationwide on May 6, raised over $159,000 for local FFA and agriculture organizations this year — a new record for the fundraiser.
Beyond these established events to advance ag education, Culver’s joined the Decade of Ag Movement, the first food and ag sector-wide movement to create a shared vision for a climate-smart agricultural system that secures the nation’s food supply.
