Following a longstanding annual tradition, Foster Farms will donate two and half tons of Thanksgiving turkeys to the Merced County Food Bank. The donation will feed 6,000 residents in a community of 80,000. Foster Farms has already donated sufficient turkeys to food banks from San Diego, CA. to Seattle, WA. to feed more than 80,000 in need.
It is estimated that in California one out of every five residents comprising eight million suffer from food insecurity. This is a sorry situation for the Nation’s wealthiest state.
