Mountaire Farms holding Thanksgiving food drive
Churches and non-profit organizations interested in partnering with Mountaire Farms to distribute meal boxes at Thanksgiving can now sign up online, officials announced this week.
The Thanksgiving for Thousands program provides complete meal boxes to hundreds of area churches, nonprofits and community organizations to distribute to families in need every year.
There will be four packing and distribution locations this year: Selbyville, DE; Siler City, NC; Lumber Bridge, NC; and Statesville, NC.
Each Thanksgiving box can feed a family of four. Meals include a Mountaire roaster chicken, canned vegetables, stuffing, gravy, cranberries and dessert. They will be packed and distributed on Saturday, November 18.
To sign up for meal boxes or to learn more about Mountaire's programs, visit mountaire.com.
