Stockgrowers Give $3,250 To Support School Meals
A night of Bulldogs football recently also brought a show of support for Bainville students beyond the playing field.
The MonDak Area Stockgrowers Association presented a $3,250 check during Bainville’s football game against Wibaux, helping the school purchase locally produced beef for its lunch program.
The contribution connects the region’s ranching community with the meals served to students each day. For a school surrounded by agricultural families, it offers another way for local producers to support the children growing up in their communities.
The nonprofit association represents and advocates for cattle ranchers across eastern Montana and western North Dakota. Its school beef donations help bring that work into local cafeterias while supporting the use of beef produced in the region. Bainville joins other area schools benefiting from the association’s contributions, including Culbertson, Savage, Lambert and Richey. The stockgrowers have provided $48,000 this year to help schools purchase local beef for their lunch programs. Presented on a night when families and neighbors gathered to cheer for the Bulldogs, the check recognized another shared investment in Bainville’s students — helping provide meals that carry a connection to the agricultural community they call home.
