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!!

The continued growth of the Agent Charitable Fund would not be possible without the leadership and direction of our first four committee chairs. These Farm Bureau Insurance Michigan agents are all Founding Members, active donors and active champions of the ACF. They volunteer their time and talents to increase engagement and cultivate a strong future for the fund.
