Perdue Farms Donate 40,000 lbs. of Protein

As part of a commitment to end food security in its communities, Perdue Farms has donated 40,000 pounds of chicken products to help the Food Bank of the Albemarle feed food insecure children and families. The Food Bank of the Albemarle is celebrating 40 years of serving its neighbors across 15 counties in northeast North Carolina.

The donation – the equivalent of 33,000 meals – is part of the Perdue’s Delivering Hope to Our Neighbors^® program to improve quality of life and build strong communities.

“This gift of nutritious protein comes at a time when families continue to struggle with putting meals on their tables,” said Liz Reasoner, Executive Director of the Food Bank of the Albemarle. “For years, Perdue Farms has been a tremendous partner in our ability to alleviate the hardships of those struggling with food insecurity. Together, we are providing wholesome meals and delivering a little hope to our neighbors.”

Nearly 42,000 people in northeast North Carolina do not have regular access to enough food for a healthy, active lifestyle, including one in four children or 23 percent of the population, according to the food bank.
