The Interfaith Food Bank Society of Lethbridge has received a donation from Pioneer Hi-Bred International.

The Seeds producer is celebrating its 100th anniversary and 80th year in Canada by giving back to communities where its employees live and work.

As part of the anniversary, employees volunteered at the food bank as part of their goal of reaching 100,000 hours of community service in 2026.

During the visit, a donation of $1,500 was given to the society by Ben Autheir, production manager for Pioneer in Lethbridge, and Loralee Orr, Canada commercial leader of Pioneer’s parent company, Corteva.

Pioneer says their volunteer goals reflect their century-long legacy of partnership with farmers and rural and urban communities.
