ALLEGANY — Officials with Canticle Farm announced this month they received a $3,500 grant from the Dr. Lyle Renodin Foundation.
The grant will assist the Canticle Farm Sponsored Share program in funding fresh, locally and naturally grown vegetables to families and individuals in need. The Renodin Foundation, affiliated with the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany, directs its energy and resources toward improving the quality of life of low-income citizens in the local region.
Funding from private donations and grants from organizations such as the Renodin Foundation enables Canticle Farm to continue to contribute at least 20 percent of its shareholder memberships to programs in Allegany, Cuba, Olean, Portville and Salamanca, as well as Bradford, Pa.
