Farm Bureau's Agent Charitable Fund is a testament to the community based purpose of Farm Bureau Insurance. Tackling childhood hunger in Michigan.

I would also like to give a shout out to my father Merrick Maris III as he was the first committee chair in ACF history!!

They volunteer their time and talents to increase engagement and cultivate a strong future for the fund.
