Veronica Whitehead, the Habitat for
Humanity home recipient from this year’s Indiana State Fair build, and her two
kids moved into their new home on Christmas Eve this year. Whitehead's house,
dubbed "The House that Agriculture Built," was built in just 14 days
at the 2011 Indiana State Fair with the help of 25 ag-related sponsors including
Indiana’s Family of Farmers.
Because the electricity took months
to install, the family could not move in until Christmas Eve, and at that time,
they were greeted with quite the surprise.
Two days before move-in, their freezer and refrigerator were filled with
Indiana pork, beef, dairy and poultry products thanks to Indiana’s Family of
Farmers who donated the food and also a deep freezer.
Indiana farmers have always been
active members of their communities just as Habitat is helping the community it
serves to thrive. What Indiana farmers
do best is grow safe, nutritious food, so what better way to help than to
partner and supply the deep freezer for this Indianapolis family and also to
fill it with the protein and dairy products to help feed the family.
The hams, ground beef, turkey and
milk were just some of the goodies Veronica and her family were able to enjoy
on Christmas! What better way to celebrate, than with abundant food to share
with those you love.
