A family lesson through Hogs for Hunger

Josh Humphreys knew there were those in his community who struggled to find their next meal. He saw it firsthand through his church’s own food bank. So, last year, his family donated 11 hogs to Southside Baptist Church in Fulton, Mo., to be given away to people in need.

Then this year, an email from the Missouri State Fair allowed this Callaway County pork producer to take part in another opportunity, teaching his young family the importance of giving back and serving others.
