John and David Lugtigheid presented the Canadian Foodgrains Bank with $39,000 on Tuesday at the Evangel Community Church.
The father and son have been growing and selling crops for the organization on land owned by the church.
John Lugtigheid told Chthm-Kent News Today they've never collected a cent off of any of the work.
"Over the years, we've never turned a bill in and we still pay our help for doing the work," he said.
John also gave a shoutout to local agri-businesses who have donated fertilizer and other chemicals.
"The local agri-businesses have been very good in supporting [the farm]," he said.
John said he's expecting another $4,000 to $5,000 once they get the farm's premium payment
Henry Reinders, an Ontario regional representative for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, said the grain is no longer shipped to needy people overseas, but sold and the money used to provide help.
"We're not spending money on shipping costs. We're providing the people who are receiving the food a product they're familiar with because we're buying it locally, and we're also helping local farmers who have something to sell by providing a market for them," Reinders said.
