Growing Hope Globally

DRC Sponsor: Don Holmertz

Mark E. Swanson is a recent transplant to Decorah after having assumed a new role as a Regional Director for Growing Hope Globally. Growing Hope Globally is a Christian response to hunger, linking the grassroots energy and commitment of rural communities in the U.S. with the capability and desire of smallholder farmers in developing countries to grow lasting solutions to hunger. He will share how U.S. rural communities are finding renewal, while making an impact on global hunger.
