Cargill, Kroger to donate 200 turkeys to Feeding America Southwest Virginia

Cargill has announced it will partner with Kroger to donate 200 Honeysuckle White turkeys to Feeding America Southwest Virginia for families in the Roanoke area.

The Honeysuckle White turkey brand will also work to spread awareness of the fight against hunger through its “Feed Your Family. Help Feed Another” holiday campaign in grocery stores and on its website.

Here’s the full news release from Cargill:

As the holidays approach, many families will struggle to make ends meet, and the tradition of turkey for the holidays may not always be possible.  But with help from the Honeysuckle White® turkey brand, Kroger and Feeding America Southwest Virginia, the holiday turkey tradition can carry on for many deserving families.

 Kroger is donating 200 Honeysuckle White turkeys to Feeding America Southwest Virginia for hungry families in the Roanoke community.  This is one of 24 communities across the U.S. to which Cargill is donating turkeys this holiday season.

“As part of Cargill’s focus on nourishing those in our communities, we’re excited to once again partner with Kroger to help feed families through Feeding America Southwest Virginia this holiday season,” said Steve Willardsen, president of Cargill’s turkey business.  “Helping those in the communities in which we live and work makes for stronger communities overall.

 Along with Cargill’s donation to Kroger, the Honeysuckle White turkey brand is spreading awareness of the fight against hunger through its holiday campaign Feed Your Family. Help Feed Another.  The campaign lives in grocery stores across the country and on the Honeysuckle White turkey website.
