GUTHRIE COUNTY, Iowa — [KCCI] – Letting good food go to waste is something Grant Sheeder can’t stand by and watch. So when one of the producers he uses at Guthrie County Quality Meats had extra, unprocessed beef, he decided to put it to use. Until Nov. 20, Sheeder is seeking nominations for at least 10 needy families.

Each will receive $1,800 worth of ground beef, packaged into 300 ounce-and-a-half servings. To nominate someone, email info@gcqualitymeats.com with their name and the reason they deserve the donation.

In a social media post Saturday, Sheeder said “We had another Guthrie County producer call this morning and has graciously gifted 2 whole pigs to this cause! We will gift them in 1lb packages of ground pork to several families in need! This family has also asked to remain anonymous, but we can’t thank these producers enough for their generosity!”

Guthrie County Quality Meats is a Custom/State inspected meat locker. For updates on the meat giveaway, follow their Facebook page, Guthrie County Quality Meats.
