We’re always looking for ways to make our Junior Livestock Sale more impactful, not just for our dedicated 4-H and FFA exhibitors, but for the wider McKean County community. This year, we’re excited to share a new opportunity that does exactly that.

Through a partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest PA and Feeding Pennsylvania, we’re introducing the Bid. Buy. Donate. program at the 2025 McKean County Junior Livestock Sale. This program gives buyers the chance to donate their purchased animal to a local food bank, where it will be processed and distributed to families in need—right here in McKean County!

How does it work? Animals donated to the program will be transported to and processed at a USDA-inspected facility into family-sized packages of meat, and then distributed locally by Second Harvest and their community agency partners. The exhibitor receives all sale proceeds and you, as the winning bidder, only pay the sale price of the animal. All processing costs are covered through the Pennsylvania Agricultural Surplus System (PASS), a state-funded initiative that helps food banks secure fresh, local food products.

As a buyer, your generous donation supports two important causes: investing in the next generation of agricultural leaders and providing high-quality meat to local families who need it most. It’s an incredible way to extend your impact beyond the sale ring.

Those who donate their animal will receive a confirmation letter from the food bank to use alongside your sale receipt for tax documentation purposes. (As always, we recommend speaking with your tax professional to determine any deductions that may apply.)

We hope you’ll consider joining us in this effort to strengthen both youth agriculture and food security in McKean County. Your continued support means the world to our exhibitors, to their families, and to the neighbors your generosity helps feed.

With sincere thanks,

McKean County Junior Livestock Committee

We're forging partnerships with farmers, processors and distributors to give Pennsylvania’s food banks a wider range of nutritious food.
