A check was presented
to Wildwood Hills Ranch
in St. Charles by the
Ankeny Monsanto site to
help fund an educational
garden. The $5,000 grant
was awarded during a
check presentation Tues-
day, July 16.
Structured activities for
children offer opportuni-
ties to learn leadership
roles and responsibility.
Thanks to the Ankeny
Monsanto site, the Wild-
wood Hills Ranch will
now be able to create a gar-
den that will serve as an
educational tool for camp-
ers, using the $5,000 grant
from the Monsanto Fund.
The organization, a
nonprofit in Saint Charles,
gives at-risk and disadvan-
taged kids the opportunity
to enjoy camp programs.
Wildwood Hills Ranch
will utilize the grant to
plant a garden at the ranch,
which will serve as an edu-
cational tool to teach
campers grower responsi-
bilities, as well as about
healthy food options. By
selling the produce at the
Des Moines Farmers' Mar-
ket, campers also will gain
entrepreneurial skills.
"Kids from across the
state are offered hope and
love while being chal-
lenged to grow into lead-
ers and people of integ-
rity," said Ke!sey Smith,
Wildwood Hills Ranch's
director of annual fund
and communication.
"These kids want to con-
tribute to the communities
in which they live."
"This facility works
with kids from throughout
the state and is only
funded by donations,
said Scott Greenfield,
Monsanto geographic
marketing manager for
Iowa. "I worked with them
briefly last year support-
ing a fundraising event,
but this is a new relation-
ship between our site and
this organization that we
hope to expand upon."
This is the first year
Wildwood Hills Ranch has
been nominated for a
Monsanto Fund grant.
• This year, the Monsanto
Fund awarded 127 site
grants to nonprofit organi-
zations in 26 states. In Iowa
alone, 23 site grants were
awarded and totaled
$204,795. The Monsanto
Fund continues to provide
support to organizations,
such as Wildwood Hills
Ranch, to help strengthen
communities where farm-
ers and Monsanto employ-
ees live and work.
The Monsanto Fund,
the philanthropic arm of
the Monsanto Company, is
a nonprofit organization
dedicated to strengthening
the farm communities
where farmers and Mon-
santo Company employ-
ees live and work. Visit the
Monsanto Fund atwww.mo
