Greenway Equipment Inc. has launched a fundraising campaign for local food banks in partnership with country music star Jason Aldean. The funds raised through the promotion will be donated to combat food insecurity for children in Arkansas and Missouri.
Greenway is donating a 2022 John Deere XUV835M Honor Edition Cab Gator with HVAC and a 2021 John Deere XUV825M S4 Gator, previously used by Aldean on his property near Nashville. Each vehicle features a plaque with Aldean’s autograph.
The funds raised will go toward supporting the backpack programs at Arkansas Foodbank in Little Rock, Food Bank of Northeast Arkansas in Jonesboro and the Southeast Missouri Food Bank in Sikeston, Missouri.
Each donation is considered a registration for a chance to win one of the vehicles.
“Agriculture and food production are central to our business at Greenway, so we’re proud to continually support the backpack programs that help provide food to those in need,” said Marshall Stewart, CEO of Greenway Equipment. “This giveaway partnership is just one way Greenway is working to make a positive impact and strengthen the communities where we operate.”
According to FeedingAmerica.org, one in five children in Arkansas and one in seven children in Missouri struggle with hunger. The backpack programs provide food for hungry children on the weekends and feed thousands of children during the school year.
