Agri Beef Helps Celebrate Beef Counts 10-Year Anniversary

It's the 10-year anniversary of Beef Counts; a wonderful program helping to feed the food insecure in Idaho.

Agri Beef Public Relations Manager Melissa Delgadillo say taht Beef Counts is a program that's very near and dear to everyone's heart at Agri Beef.

"A decade ago, we had conversations with the Idaho Food Bank, and they let us know that protein is an item that's hard to come by at the food bank being a part of the ranching community" said Delgadillo. "That was something that we, of course, knew we could step up and help provide. And so we helped spearhead the beef count program along with the ranching and farming community here in Idaho."

Over the past 10 years, 1.7 million servings of beef have been distriuted to families in need throughout Idaho plus 3,300 roasts during this holiday season in partnership with Agri Beef, the Idaho Cattle Association, Idaho Cattlewomen's Association, Idaho Beef Council, as well as the Idaho Food Bank.
