37th District Buyer’s Coalition Report

 

JOIN OUR EFFORTS

The 37th District Buyer’s Coalition serves youth livestock exhibitors, the homeless, housebound individuals, veterans and those facing food insecurity. So why are we seeking help to purchase youth livestock projects?

 

About 1/3 of the exhibitors at the 2024 Santa Barbara County Fair DID NOT BREAK even on their livestock projects and many others barely covered their expenses. We find that unacceptable as these kids work diligently to learn, lead, and succeed in agricultural education. Statistics show 4-H and FFA kids will serve as leaders in their future careers and communities.

 

They deserve community support.

 

Ready to help? Here's how we carry out our mission:

 

Wondering if our process works? Take a look at the numbers since 2022:

 

As we look ahead, there are new and exciting opportunities to do more, make a greater impact and serve our communities at an even higher level. We ask you to come in person to the 2025 Santa Barbara County Fair. Walk through the barns and watch these kids care for and show their livestock. Then register as a buyer and come bid with us!

 

We'd love to partner up with businesses, organizations, every day supporters, and all together, add to the 37th District Buyer's Coalition fund any way we can.

 

Each year, additional non-profits serving various demographics, reach out about joining our efforts. From the Good Samaritan in Santa Maria, New Life Church in Pismo, to the Micah Mission in Lompoc, we are putting high quality, locally produced proteins back into our communities for a full circle experience.

  

It is truly an added bonus to serve as a direct conduit that connects the exhibitor to the need in our community. In other words, this program is a Win-Win-Win.

 

This program is a prime example of the lasting, positive impact that generations of agriculture leaders, their families and our community can have.
