The holiday season is a time of celebration, but it’s also an opportunity to give back to those in need. Whether it's donating to a cause, volunteering your time, or simply spreading kindness, holiday giving is a way to make a positive impact in your community and beyond. Consider supporting local food banks, shelters, or charities that focus on providing for those who are struggling. Many organizations offer opportunities for individuals and families to contribute, whether through monetary donations or by sponsoring gifts for those in need. Thank you to everyone who continues to give back to their communities at the holidays and all year. The gift of giving carries on! #ColumbiaGrain #CGI #CommunityFirst

The Valley City project continues to progress nicely. We are nearing the end of our design phase for the processing equipment, pulse receiving and loadout, and process building. During the month of November more existing equipment was removed and concrete work started in the processing area. We continue to have weekly project meetings with our contractors and general contractors and that will be ongoing until the project is complete. We look forward to continuing good progress over the next several months! #columbiagrain #AgricultureInnovation #CGIProcessing #CultivatingGrowth #ValleyCityBeanPlant #NorthDakota

Making waves in our community! Columbia Grain is proud to support the Columbia County Parks & Rec Pool District, with a recent donation to help make the vision of a community pool a reality.
