The Rotary Club of Melfort has completed the 2014 harvest of the Canadian Foodgrains Bank project.
Although the yield was down from 2013 due to excessive moisture and disease, with matching government grants 500 people can still be fed for one month.
The Rotary Club of Melfort said they get a lot of support throughout the community for the project.
