Melissa Renteria gives Agriland Farming CEO Jim Maxwell a big hug after receiving items purchased by Agriland for some extra holiday cheer.

Just before the end of 2023, Madera County Sheriff’s Office and Agriland Farming employees presented Melissa Renteria and her family some extended Christmas cheer. 

Originally, Renteria was stopped by MCSO Deputy Brandon Smith in Chowchilla, and was gifted $100 during the MCSO Christmas Cheer campaign with Agriland and its employees. 

A week later, the pair combined forces to reward Renteria with almost $2,000 in household items and toys for their four children.
