“Supporting local fire and rescue crews is something Landus takes great pride in,” said Matt Carstens, President & CEO of Landus. “Many of our employees and farmer-owners are actively involved in their local safety and emergency response crews. They play a crucial role in our rural communities and to the cooperative itself.”
The farmer-owned cooperative announced the Core Grant program at the beginning of 2019 as part of a quarterly philanthropy focus. With this grant, 71 fire and rescue crews will be able to continue to update and improve their equipment and services to respond to emergencies in their community and surrounding areas.
“We had a record number of applicants and recipients this year. We are sincerely grateful for the dedication of these crews to the safety and protection of our employees, farmer-owners, and community members," said Matt Chambers, Landus board member and chair of the Donations Committee.
