Jefferson County Cattlemen donate $1,000 to The Lord’s Cupboard

The Jefferson County Cattlemen donated $1,000 in canned beef to The Lord's Cupboard in Fairfield.

Beef is a great source of energy, protein, vitamins, and minerals. A single three-ounce serving of lean beef provides the consumer with 10 essential nutrients and 25 grams of protein all packed into a delicious meal!

Protein is a necessary nutrient in developing strong bodies at all ages - from infants, teen athletes, and the elderly. Unfortunately, food-insecure families have limited access to protein-packed foods and lack the needed nutrients to grow strong bodies.

The Jefferson County Cattlemen’s Association recognized the gap in protein-rich foods available to local food-insecure families. The group decided to bridge the gap by donating $1,000 in canned beef during the May Beef Month from Ulrich’s Meat Market (Pella, IA) to The Lord's Cupboard of Jefferson County in Fairfield, IA.

Canned meat products are easier for families to store and for young children to enjoy since most products can be warmed up in small electronic appliances rather a stove or an oven.
