The Warren-Henderson Farm Bureau is teaming up with OSF HealthCare this harvest season for their Bushels of Hope campaign, explains Manager Ashlyn Quinn:
“You can donate your grain to the hospital, and it goes as a gift versus any sort of taxed income. We have more information in our office, but basically you deliver your grain to a local elevator, you ask the elevator to transfer a specified number of bushels to the OSF HealthCare Foundation, and the foundation then provides you with the acknowledgment that the bushels are being transferred and what their value is. As long as you transfer that before it is sold, you can dedicate and tell the foundation where you would like that money to go. It can go towards mental health, it can go towards cancer, it can go to pediatrics, and it all stays within this area and within the community of hospitals that we have.”
