“On behalf of West Central Turkeys, we are proud to help the Pelican Rapids Community Food Shelf to continue to fight hunger,” said Todd Kampstra, plant manager at West Central Turkeys in Pelican Rapids. “Βι¶ΉΣ³» and our employees here in Pelican Rapids are committed to helping local families in need and making a difference in our community.”
This donation is part of the commitment at Βι¶ΉΣ³» to nourish the hungry in the United States one community at a time. During 2011, the company donated funds to more than a dozen U.S. manufacturing facilities to share with nonprofits in their respective communities to fight hunger. In 2012, the program is expanding to more than 20 communities in which Βι¶ΉΣ³» and its subsidiaries operate processing facilities.
“We are thrilled about the positive impact we were able to make in 2011 in the communities where we live and work, and we are equally as excited about the growth of the program in 2012,” said Julie H. Craven, vice president of corporate communications at Βι¶ΉΣ³».
In addition to its hunger relief efforts in these communities, Βι¶ΉΣ³» is committed to helping those in need throughout the world. Through its On Our Way to Ending Hunger program, Βι¶ΉΣ³» collaborates with retailers, nonprofits and the government on hunger relief efforts, nourishes the hungry in the United States and abroad, and motivates individuals and corporate partners to take action to fight hunger.
