Article written by Mahoning Matters.
Country musician Luke Bryan took part in the 2023 Ohio First Lady’s Luncheon on Friday to help support families and children who face hunger throughout the state.
“Mike and I share Luke Bryan’s commitment to fighting hunger and helping families find enough food to eat,” said Ohio First Lady Fran DeWine. “It’s a blessing that Luke came to share his spotlight on this need, as we all work together to help tackle the issue of food insecurity in Ohio. Each of us can take action, help our fellow Ohioans, and make a real difference.”
First Lady DeWine hosted the lunch and spoke with Bryan about his ongoing Farm Tour, which celebrates America’s farmers and supports families facing food insecurity across the country.
This year marks Bryan’s 14th Farm Tour - including a stop in Ohio - and features the #HeresToTheFarmer campaign, which has already donated 6 million meals to Feeding America with partner Bayer. Since 2008, when the Farm Tour began, Bryan has also granted 78 scholarships to students from farming families near tour stops to their local college or university.
“I grew up around farming and understand the importance of where food comes from,” said Luke Bryan. “I’m excited to support families and children in Ohio to make sure everyone has food on their table.”
