Agent Charitable Fund Awards Grant to Heartbeat of Monroe

Our agency nominated Heartbeat of Monroe to receive a grant from the Agent Charitable Fund (ACF). "Heartbeat of Monroe has been near and dear to me for some time. I have participated in St. Mary’s of Rockwood’s annual ‘baby item drive’ for the Heartbeat for 7 years running and when I heard they were short on formula, I knew the ACF could help!" Rob said. 

Heartbeat of Monroe was selected and received a $2,000 grant to help fund their program. The Feeding the Future grant will be utilized to purchase food and formula to meet the needs of infants, toddlers and children who visit the center. 

Heartbeat of Monroe gives free confidential assistance to those who are dealing with a pregnancy, caring for an infant or parenting a child.

The ACF, whose mission is to end hunger in Michigan, is a donor-designated fund administered through the Michigan Foundation for Agriculture. The Michigan Foundation for Agriculture, a 501(c)(3) governed by Michigan Farm Bureau’s board of directors, positively contributes to the future of Michigan agriculture through leadership and educational programming. Through grant programs like Feeding the Future, Farm Bureau agents, clients and partners provide food and educational programs to Michigan residents struggling with hunger and aid the more than 3,000 hunger-relief agencies throughout the state.
