Leaf River, IL: Leaf River Baptist Church’s Farm Ministry, in collaboration with Pampered Chef consultant Ellen Traum, proudly announces the successful conclusion of their recent fundraising event. The kickoff party, held on July 30, 2024, through the end of the event on August 9, raised an impressive $739.21 to support Farm Rescue, an organization dedicated to assisting farmers in multiple states in times of need due to a natural disaster, illness, or injury.
The Pampered Chef fundraising party, hosted at the church, drew community members and church supporters alike eager to support a worthy cause while exploring the latest in kitchen products for quick and easy meal prep. Farm families preparing for long hours in the field and families heading back to school, including school librarian Ellen Traum from Winnebago School District, found valuable resources. Ellen is a dedicated Pampered Chef consultant who generously donated door prizes and organized meal prep ideas.
“It was heartwarming to see our community come together for such an important cause,” said Ellen Traum. “Farm Rescue plays a vital role in supporting farmers during challenging times, and I’m thrilled that our efforts have contributed to their mission.”
The Farm Ministry at Leaf River Baptist Church, which focuses on agricultural support and outreach within Ogle County and the region, expressed gratitude for their generous contributions and enthusiastic participation. “We deeply appreciate Ellen Traum and the Pampered Chef team for their partnership,” said Tara Hagemann of Leaf River Baptist Church’s Farm Ministry. “The success of this event highlights the power of community and the impact we can make when we come together.”
The funds raised will aid Farm Rescue in continuing its mission to provide critical support to farmers facing unexpected challenges, ensuring they have the resources necessary to keep their operations running smoothly despite natural disasters, illness, or injury.
