Perdue Foundation Donates $1 Million To Alleviate Hunger

01/21/2020

The Delivering Hope To Our Neighbors initiative in conjunction with the Franklin P. and Arthur W. Perdue Foundation has donated $100,000 to each of ten food banks located in Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, Delaware and California.

 

Perdue Farms is doubling its annual protein donation to Feeding America to four million pounds with a goal to provide 20 million pounds by 2025.  Over the past 20-years, Perdue has donated more than 76 million pounds of protein to food banks operated by Feeding America. 

 

Blake Thompson, Chief Supply Chain Officer at Feeding America stated “people who struggle with hunger do not have regular access to enough food for a healthy, active life.  Feeding America is grateful to Perdue for its generous support of member food banks and for helping people in need in communities across the country.”

 

Randy Day, CEO of Perdue Farms stated “with one in nine Americans struggling with food insecurity, hunger knows no boundaries.  As a food company we are committed to fighting hunger in the communities we call home and beyond.”
