“For I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me drink.
I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”
How Kernels of Hope Works
Canadian Covenant farmers in several provinces donate their time to grow wheat and canola crops on a portion of their land set aside to be “purchased” by virtual farmer donors. Those donations pay the costs of rent, seed, chemicals, insurance, and custom work.
When the crops are sold, the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) matches the grain sales revenue on a four-to-one ratio to reach the final donation amount. That money is distributed to the intended recipients through the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and Tearfund Canada (previously World Relief Canada).
Previous to 2011, money from the Kernels project was used to provide implements and other needed supplies to farmers in South Sudan and Liberia.
